The summer is definitely the perfect time to squeeze in extra reading, and especially during holiday travel. This summer I’m reading a mix of simple living, decluttering, and ecofriendly books, refreshing and humorous essays, as well as two women’s memoirs. I’m half way done reading these books, and I am truly loving the experience.
Marie Kondo’s book changed my life. Still clearing the mess out but feeling a lot better about it. I’m now reading a racy novel ha ha!
I recently finished Eat, Pray, Love and just started the Tidying Up book!
Sounds awesome! Both are amazing!
Currently I am reading All the Light We Cannot See and I think afterwards I want to read the Goldfinch. There’s nothing like a good fall cleaning and I hear such great things about Marie’s book, I might have to add that to my September reading.
I haven’t read either book. I especially love the title of the first though. Thanks for sharing!
I just finished reading “Eat, Pray, Love” and enjoyed it. I also just recently finished reading “It” by Stephen King. But to be fair I started that one months ago.
Sounds good! My hubby loves Stephen King, but I can’t handle his intensity. Most of his books can count as three with how long they are!
I am currently reading “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed, and if you like “Eat, Pray, Love,” and would definitely recommend this one because so far I think the two authors are pretty similar, especially in their writing style.

The newest acquisition for Team Empire, VANSKOR was the long time stand-in player for this team. After one hell of a drama involving the roster, VANSKOR was finally inducted officially into the team and has been assigned the support role. He is known for not speaking much and only focussing on the job at hand.

The BBC reports: The Iraqi government has declared three days of national mourning after a huge bomb in Baghdad killed 165 people and injured 225 others.
Rescuers said whole families had been wiped out and many victims were burned beyond recognition. So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the suicide attack.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited the mainly Shia area on Sunday but his convoy was greeted by angry crowds. His office later announced the three days of mourning, adding that Mr Abadi understood the angry reaction of residents.

A feral colony is identified.
For more information on TNR please visit www.alleycat.org.
Thank you for choosing the Pawmetto Lifeline Spay/Neuter Clinic. We are an NSNRT certified Spay/Neuter Clinic and follow all standards of care set forth by the Humane Alliance, the gold standard in high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter.
Our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgery to help reduce the amount of unwanted pets that end up euthanized in municipal shelters. Each year in Lexington and Richland Counties over 18,000 dogs and cats are euthanized due to the pet overpopulation epidemic and over 60% of those euthanized are cats. Feral cats in municipal shelters are automatically euthanized, and the only way to put an end to this tragedy is to spay and neuter every Feral possible. We are committed to working with groups and individuals working on trap-neuter-release (TNR) and hope that our flexibility and pricing will allow you to help more cats in your community.
Feral cats typically live in colonies where they have access to food and shelter. An unmanaged colony can become a problem, with rampant breeding, and the onset of problem mating behaviors (fighting, yowling, etc.). However, feral cats should not be taken to the animal shelter, as they are not adoptable and can only be euthanized. Catching and killing the cats does not work. When cats are removed from an area, survivors breed to capacity or new cats move in (This is known as the “vacuum effect,” and is well-documented).
Feral cat surgeries are on Monday through Thursday only.
For the sake of their health, all kittens must be 2 pounds before they can be altered. It is sometimes difficult to tell if they are of weight just by looking at them. If you trap kittens and they are declined for surgery due to being underweight there will be a $10 fee charged per kitten that is declined. Please understand that we cannot weigh the kittens until they are anesthetized and must cover our cost associated with that procedure.
One or two feral cats do not need an appointment; however, 3 or more on any given day do require an appointment. If you are planning a “trapping blitz” (a large number of traps being set at one time), please contact the clinic a week in advance so that we can adjust our schedule and plan for a greater than typical number of surgeries on the anticipated day.
Feral cats must be checked in by 9:30 am (8 am – 9:30 am) and must be picked up the following morning at 7:30 am. We do assess late fees for late pick-up.
All feral cats must come to the clinic in a secure, live-release trap. No exceptions. This is for the well-being of the cats and the safety of our staff. If they are tame enough to be put in a carrier, they will not be considered feral, and a regular surgical appointment must be scheduled. If the cat is found to be tame upon intake, a regular surgical fee will apply. Please totally cover the trap with a large towel or sheet upon capture and keep the trap covered until drop-off for surgery. Please do not put bedding, towels, metal plates or cans inside the trap.
Feral cats must be fasted by the trapper - no food after 7am the day of surgery. If there is a food bowl in the trap with the cat, please just turn it over.
We will not conduct combo tests on feral cats. Alley Cat Allies does not support testing feral cats for FeLv or FIV. Considering the cost of the test in conjunction with the low rates of disease (1-2% of feral populations according to ACA), low likelihood of transmission between adult cats, poor viability of the virus , the fact that we will not euthanize an asymptomatic positive cat, we believe that funds are more effectively invested in providing spay/neuter services. For further questions, we encourage you to visit www.alleycat.org.
All feral cats will receive an ear tip. The only exception is feral kittens under 12 weeks of age brought in by an 501(c)3 agency that intends to socialize them and adopt them out.
Our feral cat surgery price is $40 which includes: surgery, rabies vaccine, ear tip and tattoo.
Please contact the clinic if you have any questions about these policies at (803) 465-9100 or clinic@pawmettolifeline.org.

You won’t need to leave the deck comfort of Imbali Safari Lodge to see Kruger’s creatures stake their claim over their humble patch: the striking Golden Orb spider spinning her impenetrable web, Burchell’s starlings bravely pecking at a wayward cobra and squirrels dashing past with their tasty tidbits.
Sheltered in a riverine forest overlooking the seasonal Nwaswitsontso river, Imbali is built on the site of a 400-year-old African settlement that has yielded such evidence of an ancient culture as clay pots, bone tools and grinding stones. Plush leather sofas, African patterned tapestries and traditional artifacts fight for their place of pride amidst thatched Tsonga roofs, stone columns and the odd tree that emerges apologetically through the teak deck; an impressive Jackalberry keeping diners company as it rises through the lodge’s floor and peeps well out over the Tsonga-styled thatched roof.
Guests are accommodated in twelve spacious suites, subtly decorated in neutral colours with enchanting splashes of African tradition, from the ornate wall lamps to the comfortable textured pillows.
Large French doors run the length of the room to let the beautiful outside wilderness in, on your terms; an expansive deck overlooks the Nwaswitsontso river or savannah grasslands with a Jacuzzi or outdoor pool to complete your leisure bush experience. Relax on the sunbed with a book or let those bubbles soothe your weary muscles; the chattering of weavers, thrushes and kingfishers providing a magical bush playlist for your relaxation.
The spacious stone and marble bathroom features a separate claw-foot bathtub and shower with signature bath amenities, a hairdryer and fluffy bathrobes. Soak your stresses away as you marinade in bath salts while looking out on to the peace of the Kruger bush.
Sink in to the comfortable king-size bed for a quick siesta or after a hard day’s safari; a mosquito net envelops the entire bed in the evening, a prediction of the day’s weather and something sweet provided as a nightcap preparing you for pleasant dreams in the bush.
Imbali Safari Lodge continues the safari tradition of a bygone era, incorporating comfort and luxury in the serenity of the African bush. This exclusive lodge in the world-renowned Kruger National Park has just 12 private suites, each with their own plunge pool. Each suite has a large king bed and romantic en-suite bathroom with magnificent views of the wilderness beyond. All suites are air conditioned, and have telephones and mosquito nets.
Complimentary wi-fi in the main area allows you stay in touch with your loved ones, to tell them about your safari adventures each day. The sparkling swimming pool in the main area promises a refreshing dip while providing the opportunity to enjoy the rich and varied wildlife that comes to the Imbali water hole for a cooling drink. Spa treatments are available in the privacy of your suite. These are charged separately, according to the treatment you choose.
Swimming pool. Spa treatments available in the privacy of your room at an additional charge.
Check out time: 11h00 check in: 13h00 hrs. Credit cards accepted are VISA and MasterCard. AMEX with a 5% surcharge.
Safaris in 4 x 4 vehicles, bird watching, self drive in the Kruger National Park, guided safari walks by prior arrangement.
A private concession within the Kruger National Park comprising three lodges – Imbali Safari Lodge, Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge and Hamiltons Tented Camp, Mluwati Concession was born out of a spirit of ensuring the future sustainability of the national park. As one of the first private concessions in the Kruger National Park, Mluwati has worked tirelessly to ensure the sustainability of this pristine wilderness that for over 100 years has been a sanctuary for over 114 reptiles, 34 amphibians and 147 mammal species, including Africa’s Big Five.
Keen birders will delight in the hundreds of bird species that call Kruger home. Over 500 species, many of which occur in the Mluwati Concession including the Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill, Crested Barbet and Burchell’s Glossy Starling. Guests will enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife and plantlife within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience will be unique.
Experience a morning and evening safari during your stay at Imbali Safari Lodge. Witness the excitement of the first rains; the terrapins playing in river pools, the call of the Pied Kingfisher and steady chirping of sociable tree frogs. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the Magpie Shrike and see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the Savannah plains. A safari at Imbali will reveal new scents, curious sounds and the beauty of an extraordinary African landscape to delight your senses.

Overview: With five teams in my top 25 and tons of talent beyond that the Big Ten has the possibility to be the best conference behind the SEC. Michigan State lost Kirk Cousins so many would take them out of the Big Ten title race. Not too fast. Andrew Maxwell is more then capable of replacing Cousins and Le'Veon Bell should run for 1,000 plus yards easily. And as always the Spartans have a deadly defense headed by end William Gholston and pass rushing linebacker Denicos Allen. Michigan won 11 games in 2011 and has much of last year's squad back including Heisman candidate Denard Robinson. "Shoelace" must improve his passing game though in order to win he Big Ten. The problem there is that he only has one returning receiver in Roy Roundtree. Russell Wilson is gone but the Wisconsin Badgers are still title contenders with Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien. And this backfield is just as good, maybe even better. Montee Ball likely won't break Barry Sanders record, the record he tied in '11 but a Heisman isn't out of reach. Who was the Buckeyes top recruit? If you answered Urban Meyer you are correct. Ohio State has a star coach and a whole lot of talent returning in Braxton Miller on offense and John Simon on defense. Jordan Hall, though, the team's starting back, will miss significant time due to a cut on his foot. It isn't clear who will replace him. Tight end Jake Stoneburner and defensive linemen Jonathan Hankins are underrated pieces to the puzzle. Now in it's second year in the Big Ten Nebraska hopes to take the next step and win the conference championship. Easier said then done, as this team lost a number of key defenders and the offensive line is a serious weakness. Though, with Taylor Martinez and Rex Burkhead back, anything is possible. Northwestern is a team I like a lot more then I thought I would considering they lost Dan Persa. Kain Colter is the mobile quarterback to replace him. Colter started (and did pretty good) in Persa's absence in 2011. He has quite good receivers to pass too. Now that the off field distractions are done Penn State hopes this year they can forget and just play football. The issue is once more quarterback where Matt McGloin nor Rob Bolden have stepped up. But back Silas Redd has the tools to be dominant. It's called Linebacker University for a reason. Back is Gerald Hodges and a healthy Michael Mauti. Purdue returns QB Caleb TerBush and tackle Kawann Short on defense. Back Akeem Shavers could be a breakout star in 2012-2013. Iowa never has much star power but this year they're seriously lacking it. The man to replace now Stony Brook's Marcus Coker? Put your money on power Damon Bullock. Quarterback James Vanderburg isn't anything fantastic but he'll produce for a Hawkeyes team that needs it. Illinois looked like they were going to have a memorable 2011 starting off 6-0. I hope I don't have to tell you how the second half of the season went. Though junior Nate Scheelhasse is back and he can make plays with his feet as well as with his arm. This defense must replace various losses but is still dangerous. Minnesota keeps on improving under coach Jerry Kill and MarQueis Gray is back. But only one receiver has caught a touchdown and this backfield is depleted. Indiana shouldn't be overlooked. Back Stephen Houston is lethal and receiver Kofi Hughes is super athletic. Quarterback Tre Roberson is now the full time starter and it will be interesting to see how he plays.

If you are experiencing the same thing that I am experiencing that is not the emergence of comments on WordPress blogs and pops up comments are closed, maybe you can try my experience to overcome the WordPress comments that do not show up or comments are closed.
This incident I experienced after using Disqus comments in WordPress. Since I use Disqus comments, then I disable WordPress default comments from the WordPress dashboard.
Yet yesterday I tried to reuse WordPress comments and deleted Disqus comments and re-enabled them via the WordPress dashboard >> Setting >> Discussion, and the happening comments do not want to appear and appear posts comments are closed in some posts. Comments appear only on newly created post after the comment is re-enabled.
After the fiddling here and there, finally, the comments can reappear in all posts. If you are experiencing the same thing, please try some of the things below.
1. Try looking for CSS styles that may hide comments like below.
If there is, please remove the CSS.
2. Please go to the Posts section. Check the box on the edge of Title writing then click toggle Bulk Actions and select Edit then click Apply button.
Then on the page that appears next please click toggle No Change on Comments and select Allow and then click Update.
Perform the above steps on all posts, usually, one page contains 20 posts, so do for 20 posts then da continue until all posts updated. Then please check the post to make sure the comment column appears in the posting page. So many of these articles about Overcoming WordPress Comments Not Appearing Or Comments Are Closed, hopefully useful.

Before unleashing her latest album Art Angels – one of our favorite albums of 2015, Canadian musical genius Grimes expressed that standout track “Kill V Maim” was “written from the perspective of Al Pacino in The Godfather Pt 2… except he’s a vampire who can switch gender and travel through space.” Sure!
This week, the multi-talented songstress brings that very song to life with its official music video, and to no one’s surprise the video, likewise, is killer – but did we really expect anything less? All of Grimes‘ videos are a killer experience. This one comes packed with references to video games, some Michael Jackson “Bad” video inspiration, hand-drawn cartoon additions, a bloody night club and much much more! It’s like Suicide Squad-meets-Mad Max-meets-FASHION-meets-K-Pop. Got it? Okay.. WATCH!
BUY Grimes’ latest studio album Art Angels on iTunes now!

So late on the Grimes train. This is amazing. She’s taking me back to the 90s and I’m not mad about it. LOVE this video, the song, the album and her.

Update: My good friend and fellow ADE Daniela Rubio has created a similar post for our Spanish speaking friends on her Macneticos blog.
The long wait is over. It’s finally here: iOS 7, the latest and radically redesigned version of Apple’s mobile operating system. Along with the redesigned interface, iOS 7 has a number of new and updated accessibility features which I will outline here (with videos to come soon). I will organize these according to the kinds of supports they provide.
The first thing you notice is that it is now easier to navigate to the accessibility area in the Settings. In iOS 6, Accessibility was toward the bottom of the General pane . In iOS 7, it is much closer to the top of the pane, so that you don’t have to scroll. A small change, but one that hopefully will get more people to explore these settings and to become aware of the powerful assistive technology that is built into their devices. It will also aid with navigation for the people who actually use features like VoiceOver and Switch Control.
Large cursor for VoiceOver: you can now choose to have a larger, thicker cursor when VoiceOver is enabled. This is great for me, as I always had a difficult time seeing the old cursor’s faint outline. This option is found at the bottom of the VoiceOver pane.
Enhanced voices and language support: The Language Rotor option for VoiceOver has been replaced with a Languages and Dialects pane which provides a lot more flexibility. In this pane, you can specify a default dialect for your language (U.S. English, Australian English, etc.) and add languages to the rotor like you could in iOS 6. For each dialect or language, you can now download enhanced versions of the voices as well as separately control the speech rate.
VoiceOver’s option to use phonetics now has a few options (off, character and phonetics, and phonetics only), whereas before you could only turn the feature on and off.
You can use a switch to disable the VoiceOver sound effects. These are the sound cues that let you know when you are at the edge of the screen and so on.
New options in the VoiceOver rotor: you can add the option for turning sound effects on and off to the rotor, and there is a new handwriting option. Updated (09/18/13, 3pm): The handwriting option allows you to enter text using your handwriting. For example, you can open up the Notes app and start entering text by using the screen as a canvas where you write your text. The handwriting mode supports a number of gestures: two finger swipe left deletes, two finger swipe right adds a space, three finger swipe right adds a new line. You can also switch between lower case (the default) and upper case, punctuation and numbers by swiping up with three fingers. For navigation on the Home screen, you can enter the a letter and VoiceOver will announce the number of apps that start with that letter (even if they are not on the current screen). If there are several apps that start with the same name, you can swipe up or down with two fingers to navigate the list, then double-tap with one finger to open the desired app when it is announced. The handwriting option also works on the lock screen, where you can use it to enter the numbers for your passcode (it even defaults to numbers). In Safari, you can use the Handwriting feature to navigate by item type (for example, you can write “h” for headings, “l” for links and so on then swipe up or down with two fingers to navigate the various headings, links, etc).
Updated (09/18/13, 3pm): VoiceOver has a new gesture for accessing the help from anywhere in iOS: a four finger double-tap will allow you to practice VoiceOver gestures. When you’re done, a second four finger double-tap will exit the VoiceOver help.
Enhanced braille support: VoiceOver now supports Nemeth Code for equations, and there is an option for automatic braille translation (supporting U.S., Unified and United Kingdom options).
The Large Text option is now called Dynamic Type and it can work with any app that supports the feature rather than the limited set of built-in apps in previous versions of iOS. The size of the text is controlled using a slider rather than by choosing from a list and a live preview shows how the text will appear.
Bold type and other visual appearance adjustments: overall, iOS 7’s new design has less contrast than previous versions. However, in addition to large type, there are a number of adjustments you can make to the UI to make it easier to see items on the screen. You can make text bold (requires a restart), increase the contrast when text appears against certain backgrounds, remove the parallax motion effect, and enable on/off labels (I’m guessing this feature is for people who are color blind. The feature will add a small mark to indicate when a control is in the on/off position, which would be helpful because green is used quite a bit throughout the interface and the changes in state could be difficult to perceive for those who are color blind to this color).
The big addition here is a Subtitles and Captions pane. This pane brings the Closed Captioning support under the Accessibility area of the Settings, whereas before it was found under Videos. It is a global setting that will control closed captions throughout iOS.
In addition to having a global control for closed captions, the Subtitles and Captioning pane also allows you to select from several presets that make captions more attractive and easier to read. You can even go further and specify your own styles for captions, with many options ranging from font, text size, color and opacity to the color and opacity of the box the captions sit on.
Guided Access now allows disabling the Sleep/Wake and Volume buttons in iOS 7. You can also access the other options in your triple-click home shortcut (which has now been renamed the Accessibility Shortcut) while Guided Access is enabled. This will allow you to use VoiceOver, Zoom and other accessibility features along with Guided Access.
Like VoiceOver, Speak Selection has enhanced language support, including selection of different speaking rates for each of the supported languages and dialects as well as enhanced quality voices that are available for download as needed.
Both of these features are also supposed to get new APIs which I will verify once I can locate apps that implement them. For Speak Selection, a new speech API will allow apps to tap into the built-in voice support of iOS. The idea is that by not having to include as much voice data, the apps can be smaller and take up less space on the devices. In the case of Guided Access, a new API will allow developers to hide parts of the screen to reduce distractions. This builds on the previous version’s feature of disabling touch in certain areas of the screen.
The built-in dictionary feature now supports additional languages which can be downloaded and managed in the Define popover. When you select a word in a foreign language and tap Define, iOS will open the definition in the appropriate language if you have that dictionary downloaded. This is a nice feature for language learners.
you can enable auto scanning and adjust the timing parameters for the auto scanning feature, including the number of times it will loop, how long you have to hold down the switch to activate an item (hold duration) and so on.
you can adjust the visual appearance and audio effects: for the visual appearance you can choose a large cursor and select from a number of colors for the scanning cursor (I actually wish this feature were available for VoiceOver as well). For audio, you can choose to hear an audio cue when the cursor advances, as well as enable speech and adjust the speaking rate. This last feature may be helpful to someone who needs to use a switch device but also has low vision and needs the audio cues for the items on the screen.
You can add multiple switch sources, and the switch source supports three options: external, screen and camera. The first two are pretty self-explanatory. You either tap on an external device or on the iOS device’s screen to activate an item. I set my iPad up to interpret a tap on the screen as a select action and my external switch (a Pretorian Bluetooth switch/joystick device) to pause scanning. The last option is pretty interesting. The camera can be set to recognize your head movements as an action, and you can assign different actions to either a right or a left head turn. When a head movement is added as a switch source an option for adjusting the head movement sensitivity will be available. One thing to note is that you should probably have your iOS device on a stand if you plan to make use of the camera as a switch source. Otherwise, moving the device may cause the camera to not recognize your face as desired.
Although not considered an accessibility feature, the improved Siri personal assistant with higher quality male and female voices could come in handy for people with disabilities when they wish to look up information or control their devices quickly. For example, Siri recognizes a number of new commands: you can turn some of the settings on and off with a simple command (“turn Bluetooth on,” or “enable Do Not Disturb”), or navigate to specific areas of the Settings with a voice command (“open accessibility settings” or “go to accessibility settings”).
Similarly, the new TouchID feature (currently available only on the iPhone 5S) should make it easier for individuals who are blind or who have cognitive disabilities to access the information in their devices. As great as VoiceOver is, entering text has never been a strength, even when it is just a few digits on the lock screen. Using the fingerprint reader built into the Home button of the iPhone 5S (and hopefully future iPads) will make it easier to unlock the device while also ensuring privacy. For individuals with cognitive disabilities, the passcode becomes one less thing they have to remember.
On the iPhone, the Control Center includes a Torch feature that uses the flash to provide a constant source of light. I can see this feature being useful for those who need to scan documents in order to perform OCR. Along with the improved cameras in the new phones released with iOS 7, the additional light could improve the performance of the scanning apps used by many people with print disabilities.
iOS 7 also added the ability to perform automatic updates for apps you own. This could have some accessibility implications because you may have an app installed that is accessible in its current version but may become inaccessible after an update. To prevent this from happening, you can turn off the option for automatic updates in Settings > iTunes & App Store > Updates. The App Store also supports the option for redeeming gift cards using the camera (a feature already available on the Mac with iTunes). For individuals with low vision, the redeem codes on iTunes gift cards can be difficult to read, and this option to scan it with the camera makes the process of redeeming gift cards much easier.
Of the new accessibility features, I am most excited about the captioning styles and Switch Control. These two features build on Apple’s strong support for the blind community to extend accessibility to even more people (especially so in the case of Switch Control and its potential impact for people with motor and cognitive disabilities). What are your thoughts? What are you most excited about in iOS 7 with regard to accessibility?
Thanks for Your complete overview on accessibility features of IOS 7.
I cannot understand why there is no keynote on accessibility features parallel to the official keynote held yesterday evening.
As visual impaired I am not “amused” about the new uI design with thin characters and the new tendency to use low contrast like grey on white or worse, dark grey on light grey.
I would appreciate very much if you would make videos on accessibility features.
But on my opinion, please give optical reading people more room, because they building the huge part of the handicapped users and voiceover will be wider on other places.
Thanks again for your work and i miss a systematical report of accessibility features of organisations like AFB, NFN, RNIB and german DBSV in all OS. Furthermore i nearly desperately miss a forward directed discussion how the influence of eye-tracking, eeg-using devices, wearables like google-glass or e-watches, gesture based like leap and using performance cameras could push forward cognitive assistance in general and especially on reading.
Further i am missing UI development for visual impaired like in android.
How could one broaden the discussion on these topics?
Your suggestion to have a “keynote” type of event to discuss the accessibility features along with the main keynote is a great one. I will try my best to advocate for it in my role as an Apple Distinguished Educator, but also please make sure you submit it as a request to the Apple accessibility group. Their email address is accessibility@apple.com. The more voices the better.
I should have some videos up shortly. This is certainly an exciting time to be involved in assistive technology and the development of wearable technology will be a big part of that. I am happy to go along for the ride and continue to learn about all of this neat technology.
I just wrote the accessibility folks with a huge “thank you”. The free accessibility they provide is nothing short of incredible. There will always be things we would want more to tweak our individual needs, but wow, no one can dare to complain here.! I bought my first iPhone when other phones were still charging hundreds for the phone and hundreds more for speech. The new handwriting feature is nothing short of amazing. The new Siri voices, rotor options, how it handles closing apps… there is no reason why any blind person shouldn’t be elated to have this kind of support… for FREE. These features are going to same me big time, time.
Great to hear that you like these features. I agree. The handwriting recognition is awesome. I am using it a lot to unlock my device by drawing the numbers.
You can adjust the zoom level by double tapping and holding with three fingers then dragging up or down without letting go.
I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my I Phone 5 with Voice Over.. Does anyone know if there will be many differences between iOS 6 and 7 in regards to the commands or whether it’ll be compatible still?. Also, if I update to iOS 7, will Voice Over be turned off when the update is completed? These sound like silly questions, but I’m totally blind, and am relatively new to the I Phone as I _just got my 5 about two months ago.
Keyboard should work just fine. Same with VoiceOver. If it’s not you can triple click the home button to turn it on on the reset or enable it through iTunes.
Hi, have you come across any method to use a bluetooth switch to emulate the triple-click function, so a switch user can toggle voice-over mode or switch scanning mode?

We’re expecting our 3rd and final! After 2 boys I am absolutely dying to find out!! I’m only 15 weeks this week so I have another month. Anyone swear my shettles ? According to that method we should absolutely have another boy. But at 11 weeks my scan showed placenta on the left so that could mean girl!! Anyone swear by shettles?? Anyone do Ramzi after the 6-8 week window? I’m going to try and find out today but I highly doubt they will let me do an unscheduled ultrasound!
I’m in the Uk and paying £45 next week to find out the gender. I was 15 weeks yesterday. I had an elective ultrasound with my son at 16 weeks and it was very obvious then he was a boy!
thank you. I've never been offered that by my doctors office so not sure if we have anything like that. the dr checked my placenta previa a couple days ago. I was 14 and 5 days and she couldn't tell!! I was so so upset. but she said placenta does not move! so if placenta was on the left at 11 weeks that could mean girl right?
I also have 2 boys, I think I’d really like to have a girl but I adore my boys. I had the NIPT done last week so I should know in a few days. There are many private places that will do gender determination using ultrasound. I’m in a small town but within one hour of our house there are two different places that will do gender ultrasounds for $70. Both places require the pregnancy be 16 weeks or more and under a doctors care, I assume a previous ultrasound would suffice to prove. If they cannot tell the will allow a return visit on another day to make a second attempt.
The elective ultrasound is not at your doc's. There are these specialty companies that do them for this purpose. I did one last week for $59 because I was similarly impatient. Look on google or yelp near you.
Maternal Mortality Rates Are Declining All Over the World – Except in the U.S.
A new study finds the U.S. has one of the highest maternal mortality rates among industrialized countries and it's going up.
Remember all those yummy foods and drinks you had to avoid? Eating and drinking after pregnancy is a lot easier. Time to put some meals back on the menu!
Anyone else dying to find out the gender?? I’m 14 weeks and the next few weeks can’t go fast enough. My little peanut.
What's the soonest we can find out gender?I'm already dying to know!

The infant son of Anaheim Ducks' star goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere and his wife, Kristen, underwent surgery Tuesday to correct a deformed right eye. The surgery was performed at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute, one of the few centers in the world that provide this type of surgery.
The child, Maxime Giguere, was born April 4 with a deformed right eye — a condition called persistent fetal vasculature syndrome — but his left eye is healthy. The two-hour reconstructive eye surgery was performed from the inside out.
"The surgery went extremely well and early signs are hopeful for a positive outcome," said Dr. Steven Schwartz, associate professor of ophthalmology and chief of the Jules Stein Eye Institute's Retina Division. Schwartz was the lead surgeon on the medical team.
"Oftentimes, people are given frightening medical news and feel hopeless," Schwartz added. "But this case illustrates that it is important to find expert pediatric eye care and get a second opinion."
Dr. Arthur Rosenbaum, the chief of pediatric ophthalmology at Jules Stein Eye Institute, made the diagnosis that gave the Gigueres hope.
"While Maxime was born with a serious eye problem in one eye, we have every reason to expect that he will be able to lead a full, happy and productive life," Rosenbaum said.
The Gigueres thanked Schwartz and Rosenbaum, as well as the doctors at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, Calif., for their "expert medical care."
"We also want to thank the entire Anaheim Ducks organization, specifically owners Henry and Susan Samuelis and general manager Brian Burke, for their overwhelming support during this process," the couple said.
Giguere, 30, recently led the Ducks to their first Stanley Cup Championship. Anaheim became the first team to win the Stanley Cup from the state of California with its 6-2 win over Ottawa in Game 5 on June 6. The Ducks won the series 4-1. In 2003, Giguere was awarded the National Hockey League's Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player in the playoffs.
The Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA is one of the world's top centers for the treatment of eye disease, vision-related research and ophthalmic education. Founded in 1966 by physician, businessman and philanthropist Dr. Jules Stein and his wife Doris Stein, the institute has trained thousands of residents and fellows, cared for millions of patients and contributed major advances to the field of vision research. Consistently ranked as the best eye care center in the West by U.S. News & World Report magazine, the institute will expand to a third facility in the near future.

This example demonstrates adding your own type coercers.
Type coercion allows you to pass a value of the wrong type to a component's parameter. Tapestry will see it and ask its TypeCoercer service to "coerce" it to the right type.
This enables passing a Long to an Integer parameter, a String to a Boolean parameter, a BigDecimal to a Double parameter, and so on. The full list is here.
Tapestry's DateField works with java.util.Date. Let's say you also wanted it to work with Joda Time's DateMidnight and LocalDate.
To achieve this, we have contributed 4 type coercers. You can see the contribution in AppModule, below.
To help you debug coercions, you can ask the TypeCoercer service to explain how it will coerce one type to another.
References: Form, Type Coercion, TypeCoercer Service, TypeCoercer, DateField, Joda Time.
This enables passing a Long to an Integer parameter, a String to a Boolean parameter, a BigDecimal to a Double parameter, and so on.

[dropcap]S[/dropcap]eaWorld Orlando will introduce Central Florida’s first virtual-reality roller coaster next summer, retrofitting Kraken with headsets to give riders the sensation of traveling through the sea amid mythical and prehistoric creatures.
According to a article from the Orlando Sentinel, riders on Kraken will have the option to don virtual-reality headsets attached to the roller coaster, covering their eyes and ears. They will hear music composed for the ride as they embark on a deep-sea mission alongside the fictional Kraken and other animals. SeaWorld won’t say yet whether the images will be 3-D.
said Brian Morrow, SeaWorld Entertainment’s vice president of theme park experience design.
Kraken’s changes will be among $175 million worth of additions that SeaWorld Entertainment is announcing throughout its theme parks. In Orlando, that includes remodeling the Dolphin Nursery and a new Food and Wine-style festival.
SeaWorld Orlando Park President Donnie Mills said.
The changes are being announced as SeaWorld has struggled with declining attendance and has less cash on hand. Last week, SeaWorld announced it would stop paying investors quarterly dividends.
Upgrading an existing ride can create a new experience more cheaply than building from scratch.
Theme parks have been slowly introducing more virtual reality. Six Flags has added headsets to some of its roller coasters giving riders the illusion of sitting in a fighter jet fending off aliens or in a helicopter fighting gargoyles. Universal Orlando this year has added a VR attraction for Halloween Horror Nights.
Virtual reality offers the smaller companies such as SeaWorld and Six Flags a way to compete “at a budget that is reasonable for them,” Pacific Asset Management analyst Bob Boyd said.
They are “starting just around the edges to compete with the bigger theme parks as far as themed attractions,” Boyd said.
Kraken is SeaWorld’s oldest roller coaster. It opened in 2000.
Employees at Kraken will sanitize headsets after each ride. Mills acknowledged that will slow down the loading process, although he didn’t have details about how much. Kraken may run more vehicles to compensate for that, he said. And more employees will be stationed at the ride to make the process smoother.
New features in the queue will keep riders amused as they stand in line.
SeaWorld wouldn’t identify the company developing the new headset technology or give the costs specifically for the virtual-reality experience.
•The park will renovate the Dolphin Nursery. Concrete will be replaced with acrylic windows allowing guests to see the animals underneath the water’s surface. Digital displays will teach visitors about behavior, biology and conservation. SeaWorld will also create new slide-out areas and a lifting floor, providing easier access for employees working with the dolphins.
•SeaWorld Orlando will introduce the Seven Seas Festival, a food extravaganza already at its San Diego and San Antonio parks. That will expand the number of food and music events to a total of 15 weekends in 2017, compared with about eight this year. (SeaWorld’s other events include Bands, Brew & BBQ and Viva La Musica.) The amount of space dedicated to the festivals also will expand. In May, SeaWorld will also add the Flamecraft Bar next to SeaFire Grill. Flamecraft will have 16 season craft brews. It will also feature outdoor seating.
•A new nighttime summer show called Electric Ocean will debut next summer. It will include bioluminescent lighting, music, fountains, live performances and a fireworks finale. Part of the show will be on the water at Bayside Theater. SeaWorld did not have details but “lighting is a key component of bringing Electric Ocean to life,” Mills said.
•A passholder lounge will open at SeaWorld’s Aquatica water park by Easter. SeaWorld opened a passholder lounge at its main park last year. Perks include concierge service, complimentary sunscreen, a private entrance to Banana Beach and private animal encounters.
•A new show will run Memorial Day through Labor Day at the Nautilus Theatre. A’Lure: The Call of the Ocean show closed there about a year and a half ago.

This is a general purpose linear 4-sided shell element. For the node numbering and the direction of the normal to the surface the reader is referred to the quadratic eight-node shell element (S8) in Figure 54 (just drop the middle nodes).
In CalculiX, S4 and S4R four-node shell elements are expanded into three-dimensional C3D8I and C3D8R elements, respectively. The way this is done can be derived from the analogous treatment of the S8-element in Figure 55 (again, drop the middle nodes). For more information on shell elements the reader is referred to the eight-node shell element S8.

Background: Dr. Daneshgar has been a professor at Monmouth University since 2010. He teaches courses in Botany, Ecology, Tropical Island Ecology, and various other classes. One of my favorite experiences with Dr. Daneshgar was the Tropical Island Ecology course, in which we spent two weeks in the Bahamas working in the field alongside conservation scientists. His education includes a BA in Biology from the University of Delaware, an MS in Biology from St. Joseph’s University, a PhD in Invasion Ecology from the University of Florida, and postdoctoral research experience on Prairie Ecology in Texas. He discovered his passion for teaching as an undergraduate while serving as a lab instructor at Delaware; this prompted him to pursue a PhD and become a professor. He was drawn to Monmouth because it is a teaching school with a strong focus on undergraduate students. He runs the campus greenhouse and the Monmouth vineyard, and he serves as advisor for the Sea Sharps, Monmouth’s A cappella club! In his time here at Monmouth, Dr. Daneshgar has been very involved and has brought a lot to the university.
Congratulating student Kristina Guarino with Academic Achievement Award at 2017 Student Research Conference.
As one of the core professors in the Marine and Environmental Biology and Policy Program, Dr. Daneshgar has a lot of positive things to say about the program! He enjoys working with a diversity of students who all share a similar motivation and are committed to conservation. He feels that his students not only learn from him, but he learns from them as well. He also enjoys learning more about marine environments, since he is mainly a terrestrial ecologist. Although the areas we study here at Monmouth aren’t the same as what he studied in school, he is able to apply his research skills to new ecosystems.
Dr. Daneshgar serves as an advisor for several undergraduate research projects in plant ecology. His main interests currently focus on forests near the ocean (mangroves and maritime forests) specifically identifying their ecosystem services and how they will be affected by climate change. Seeing his students succeed, whether it’s winning an award or getting into graduate school, is the most rewarding part of his job. He is particularly proud of his last three peer-reviewed articles, which feature undergraduate co-authors.
Dr. Daneshgar recently received tenure, and he has bright ideas for his future at Monmouth. He hopes to explore more creative pedagogical projects such as educational films. He is also working on getting grants to fund more student research. When he’s not teaching, Dr. Daneshgar enjoys spending time with his wife and son, reading Harry Potter, poster collecting and cheering on Philly sports teams!
Faculty Advisor Dr. Daneshgar with the Sea Sharps.

Much of the world’s rum is produced in the Caribbean and Latin/Central America but the rules and regulations of rum are very different in different parts of the world. That makes rum a very diverse spirit from a historical point of view. The Caribbean especially Barbados is the “birth place” of rum and the English style of rum making. The Spanish also have a different style of rum that is found in the Latin and Central America. The French however have the strictest set of rules for making rum. Known as Agricole, it is found in the Caribbean Islands colonized by the French. Each of these styles have uniquely different and palatable flavors in their own right.
The Spanish-speaking islands traditionally have produced a smooth and lighter rums. In general, they are column distilled. You will find these rums to be of a lighter viscosity than the English, but still very flavorful. The Spanish make a purer rum with most of the flavor being derived from the barrel rather than being influenced as much from fermentation methods. You will find these rums produced on islands like Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Columbia, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.
French-speaking countries and territories are best known for their Rhum Agricole. These rhums have a distinct grassy, floral and earthy flavor due to the fact that they are is distilled exclusively from freshly pressed blue cane juice, they also tend to retain a greater amount of the original flavor of the sugar cane. The true French Rhums are made following a very strict set of laws. They are also usually more expensive than molasses-based rums. You will find these rhums being created on islands like Martinique, Guadeloupe, Haiti and Mauritius .
No matter which style of rum you prefer, there is a style and expression of this widely diverse spirit out there to suit your palate. Give some of them a try, I think you’ll be amazed what you discover.

How To Reprocess Transactions With Event Code Status And Process Code As N/P?
The environment was shut down while the Create Accounting was still running. This causes some journals to not be created. When checking the xla_ae_headers and xla_ae_lines, no data was generated for these transactions in these tables. The event code status = N and process code is P in the XLA_EVENTS table, which indicates No Action / Processed.

Dartmouth's Big 3 overcame the depth and experience of Texas to win their first major event of 2017.
FREMONT, CA — With a powerful offensive performance from their stars, #4 Dartmouth Princess Layout took down #3 Texas Melee 13-11 in the Stanford Invite final to cap a dominant weekend and make a strong case to be the nation’s new top-ranked team. While Texas challenged Dartmouth more than any team at the tournament, their hard-working defense wasn’t enough to stop Dartmouth’s Big Three.
Despite being the two most impressive squads at the tournament, the finalists navigated very different paths to Sunday’s finale. Dartmouth was basically unchallenged throughout pool play and the bracket; they allowed a total of eight goals across two bracket games before the final, including a dismantling of #1 ranked Stanford 13-5 in the semis. Texas, on the other hand, survived a double game point quarterfinal against #18 Michigan and another tough, close battle with #5 UBC in order to reach the final.
The final opened the way so many points would: with Angela Zhu executing a difficult throw perfectly to a waiting Jaclyn Verzuh. Zhu threw four goals to Verzuh in the first half alone. In the red zone, even as Zhu would turn to her reset, her eyes would shift back to track where Verzuh was in the endzone. If the stall grew too high, Zhu knew exactly where she wanted to throw first.
Texas answered Dartmouth’s opener with a hold of their own, and the teams traded until 4-3 with few turns. Throughout the early going, Texas couldn’t contain Verzuh’s firepower — she scored Princess Layout’s first three points — while Dartmouth contended with the Texas handlers’ speed.
Jaclyn Verzuh and Julia Schmaltz weren’t bothered by the mud. They gave the crowds what they wanted by matching up on each other during every point that they were both on. Schmaltz played admirable defense, but she had a tall order. Verzuh got a lot of separation downfield throughout the game, particularly on the breakside.
When Texas had the disc, this matchup created an offensive vacuum that other Melee players stepped into. With Verzuh focused on shutting down Schmaltz, Texas’ Laura Gerencser had the chance to take over. She had 3 goals, 3 assists, and 1 block in the final.
Dartmouth threw zone once early in the first half, which Texas sized up, laughed at, and destroyed by quickly bouncing the disc between handlers and poppers. For the rest of the game, Dartmouth didn’t try anything fancy on defense. Instead, Texas Melee gave Dartmouth chances to break. Texas’ Dre Esparza had several key drops in the first half. At 4-3, in the game’s longest point with seven total turns, Dartmouth converted a Texas mistake into their first break on a beautiful huck from Julianna Werffeli to sophomore Caitlyn Lee.
Many teams would let Dartmouth have the game right there. You’re not generating break chances, you’re making mistakes, meanwhile Verzuh’s heart rate has barely passed 100 BPM.
Instead, Texas exhibited the same mental strength that brought them back into their Michigan quarterfinal game and that won them the semifinal. They matched Dartmouth’s break immediately, holding quickly and then converting their first break chance to tie the game once more, 5-5.
But Dartmouth broke right back, with another Zhu to Verzuh connection for their hold before a perfect dime from Verzuh to Piper Curtis earned the break and half, 7-5.
The dominance of Jaclyn Verzuh and Angela Zhu during this final cannot be overstated.1 Verzuh had 6 goals, 3 assists, and 1 block while Zhu threw 7 assists — six of which were to her favorite target. The former played 11 of the first 12 points, and both women played the first seven points of the second half. Werffeli had a less dominant final than Zhu and Verzuh on the stat sheet, but she remained one of the team’s most reliable defenders and logged heavy minutes.
Dartmouth broke twice in a row in the second half to increase their lead to 10-6. Both were one possession breaks, pushed by a fearsome offensive intensity after the turn. Three of Dartmouth’s four breaks required only a single possession to convert. Verzuh had her way with the field, cutting, throwing, jumping, and diving with the confidence and ease of an elite player ten years her senior.
Texas didn’t panic, even in the face of a growing deficit. If anything, trailing to Dartmouth focused their top seven’s play. Esparza found Schmaltz for a hold — Esparza’s third assist and Schmaltz’ third goal of the game — and they broke soon after by locking down on the Dartmouth handlers. They still trailed 10-8, but it was a start.
Texas broke again after the teams traded holds, bringing the score to 11-10 and glimpses of what their first half could have been shone through. Melee applied pressure to Zhu with flatter marks and tougher reset options. They put more bodies into the cutting space during Dartmouth’s isolation pull play. On a turn, they opened the field with long breakside swing passes and easy give-and-go momentum. Handlers threw calculated risks to cutters who were ready for the tougher grab. Melee’s O- and D-line have a lot of crossover, and their versatility showed late in the game.
Still, the comeback wasn’t to be, as Dartmouth and Texas traded to close out the game. Even as they surged in the second half, Texas didn’t have an answer for Dartmouth’s brutal redzone composure. If Dartmouth was within 15 yards of the end zone, they were scoring.
Dartmouth’s Big Three are heavily discussed with good reason: they were involved in 12 of Dartmouth’s 13 goals, and only two other women — Piper Curtis and Caitlyn Lee — added their names to the stat sheet. So it was oddly fitting that in their final point, Curtis sent a tidy flick huck to Lee for the score and the game, 13-11.

How does someone – fan or business – search for you online today? Where do they go to find you? How would a brand, a film, a commercial or an app with a budget for a song go about getting in touch with you to use a track you wrote or were involved in? Are you aware that about 1/4 of a $45 billion industry gets paid to the wrong person/organisation or not at all due to missing data?
Currently all information pertaining who we are as music makers – our discographies, biographies, press kits, IDs, contacts, representation, etc in short: our data – is currently uploaded and stored all over the place online and not necessarily by us, creating a huge data mess complicating the admin process like getting paid and resulting in missed opportunities, monies and collaborations.
Spearheaded by Imogen Heap working with other music makers and technologists, we have created The Creative Passport – a digital identity container – which would hold all information about you as a music maker. Like an IMdB + Linkedin for music if you like. With all our information in one place, we would gain visibility through search-ability, streamline time-consuming admin and likely aid the process in getting paid quicker and more fairly with new income streams and opportunities arising as well.

The Texas and Pacific Railway started in Marshall, Texas and built track from Texarkana, Arkansas to Dallas, Texas in 1873. The Texarkana terminal was important because it gave the T&P access to the St. Louis, Iron Mountain, and Southern tracks to St. Louis, Missouri and much larger markets. T&P extented their tracks to Fort Worth, Texas in 1876. In a burst in 1881 their tracks connected to the tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad from California at Sierra Blanca, Texas, creating the third transcontinental service in the United States. The next year, 1882, T&P built into New Orleans, Louisiana. Texas and Pacific also came to control many tracks in Oklahoma.
Settlers who used the Texas and Pacific Railway would most likely have come from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Texas. They most likely would have settled in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, or California.
No known passenger lists for the Texas and Pacific Railway exist.

Before my posting speed reduces from 1 per day to 1 per week, I had to do something. I just cannot do some post just because I hate to post. There are post in my drafts which require free time which I do not seem to have much these days in home or office and the cherry on top - net issues! I cannot tell how bad it is currently. I am infact posting from someone else's lappy......please have pity on me.
I was not doing any NOTD posts (whereas my life depends on it at time) from many days and you will come to know why soon.
On my nails - Stripes are drawn my the nail polish brush itself as I was really lazy to get up and use something better. The color is Flormar 424. On top its Colorbar Crackle. The price of colorbar crackle is high but then I am yet to find one that can match its quality. I found a cheaper one and compared it HERE.
Something inside me does not allows me to paint all my nails exactly alike. I feel really irritated for some reason and end up doing something or other. This time it was Taxi Nail Art on the whole middle finger nail.
And the reason why I was not posting any of my nail arts recently.
And presenting my toes for the very first time. The chappals are from Sarojini for 150 INR. My feet was all hurting (the heels weren't huge...check them HERE...but I had walked too much in Sarojini )and I had to get some flats and I am glad I got it!
BTW got to go now. Boys Bday in 24 mins!
cool art and nice combinations.

The library ed group ALISE* sent out a rather indignant response to a recent article in USA Today. The article's title was, "Careers: 8 Jobs That Won’t Exist in 2030" and it listed a number of professions whose days were counted. First on the list was "Librarian". Librarian, you might ask, why librarian? Well, because, according to the article, books are dead, and so are libraries.
UPDATE: Needless to say, this post went up more than two weeks ago -- i.e. more than two weeks before the current tragedy. Coincidence, that's all.
Monday, July 24th was the 90th anniversary of the Germania Broadcast (background). We celebrated this pioneering German-American radio show in typical 21st century fashion : namely through Facebook posts and Twitter feeds. Daddy would have been proud to know that his work spanning more than 40 years was recognized by such worthy groups as the Consulate General of Germany (hence the photo above), the Goethe Institute and the Chicago History Museum. Thank you to all!

Of course, I registered in advance! First day at the American Library Association's 2017 Conference.
Reception at the extremely nice HQ of CapitalOne.
I saw Sidney Blumenthal discuss his book "The Political Life of Lincoln, 1849-1856" at Printers Row Lit Fest over the weekend. He talked about the critical role local newspapers played in the anti-slavery movement -- some of which Lincoln wrote articles for. One newspaper in particular was the Chicago-based "Staats-Zeitung". This rang a bell for me as I recalled my uncles Julius and Ernest being involved with the same paper in the late 20s early 30s. Below is a copy of the newspaper's listing from the "Illinois Newspaper Directory & History" (1934).

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 25, 2013 — Micron Technology, Inc. announced that it is shipping 2GB Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) engineering samples. HMC represents a dramatic step forward in memory technology, and these engineering samples are the world’s first HMC devices to be shared broadly with lead customers. HMC is designed for applications requiring high-bandwidth access to memory, including data packet processing, data packet buffering or storage, and computing applications such as processor accelerators. Micron expects future generations of HMC to migrate to consumer applications within three to five years.
An industry breakthrough, HMC uses advanced through-silicon vias (TSVs)–vertical conduits that electrically connect a stack of individual chips–to combine high-performance logic with Micron’s state-of-the-art DRAM. Micron’s HMC features a 2GB memory cube that is composed of a stack of four 4Gb DRAM die. The solution provides an unprecedented 160 GB/s of memory bandwidth while using up to 70 percent less energy per bit than existing technologies, which dramatically lowers customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO).
HMC’s abstracted memory enables designers to devote more time to leveraging HMC’s revolutionary features and performance and less time to navigating the multitude of memory parameters required to implement basic functions. It also manages error correction, resiliency, refresh, and other parameters exacerbated by memory process variation.
HMC has been recognized by industry leaders and influencers as the long-awaited answer to the growing gap between the performance improvement rate of DRAM and processor data consumption rates. Micron’s HMC was recently named Memory Product of the Year by leading electronics publications, EDN and EE Times.

I'm probably behind on the times.. because I just found out about the two landmark theaters in DC. And I am so excited to go watch some foreign movies! The only theater that I had known about was the AFI theater in Silver Spring, which is really nice. But there are so many movies I want to watch.
Basically about the search of a re-incarnated Tibetan master. After learning about Buddhism in my religions class, I have been drawn in general to Buddhism and Reincarnation. I watched a movie called "Living Goddess" which is a documentary on the goddess reincarnated in young girls and how they are worshipped.
I hope I get a chance to watch these films. I have other movies I want to see as well, including food inc, and blood: the last vampire. Oh, I might be going to the dc landmark theater on Thurs to watch food inc. If I do go i'll try to remember to take pictures since I have been lacking photos for a while.

Toyota and Chevrolet banded together to create the Geo Prizm. This compact car was not flashy or loaded with features that would not go unused. The 1.6L engine was the same ones used in the Camry and Toyota had big plans for Geo. The plans paid off and GM marketed the Geo Prizm along with other famous models. The 1.6L engine is still around and we have Geo Prizm 1.6L car engines for sale in our inventory that get shipped around the world. If you are searching for a used or rebuilt Geo engine, you’ve found the right website to come to for your engine needs.

We even use the best sprays and non-corrosive chemicals that help engines to shine like new again. We clean engines up so good that many people mistake them for new ones. If you are interested in our rebuilt 1.6L engines, we have a separate process that these engines go through before they end up in the cars of our customers.
Rebuilding engines is a lost art but not here. Our mechanics have completed training programs and they know how to disassemble and reassemble Toyota engines. These are the very basic steps of rebuilding engines. It is the dyno testing that is one component of our engines and this is much appreciated by our customers. A visual inspection is great although a computer test is thorough. The data is printed out instantly and evaluated to prove each 1.6L Prizm engine is in fact perfect. We settle for first and not second best here. This is how we concreted our prestigious reputation.

The icy slush water from the High Street Kensington sidewalk seeped into my boots again as I made my way out of the tube station and the cold blast of air that hit me as I came up the stairs was a reminder that night time was coming and almost here.
My hands were raw and cracked and they wouldn’t stop shaking. They would go from red, to pink and then to white when I warmed up, but the most irritating thing were my feet, I couldn’t warm them up, no matter what I did.
They were frozen, wet and numb and a large hole had worn in the right sole of my worn out boots; which were now thin from constantly walking and taking the subways and couch surfing at my friend’s houses. The left boot had a crack higher up on the left side near the seam and sole, so it wasn’t as terrible as the hole on the bottom of the right boot, but both feet and my socks were frozen and wet; all the time. The icy wind rattled right through my chest; and the combination was making me colder.
I knew wet and cold and sleeping outside and in doorways and hallways was not a good thing from all the war and history books I had read in the motels and when we were on the road growing up in the van with Mom and my sisters. I was Joan of Arc. I was a French Soldier fighting for freedom. I was not a match stick girl. I was a fighter who could handle this. I was not a victim.
I hurried along the sidewalk, while the last of the precious warm amber light of sunset was fading into dark purple shadows in the old stone buildings; and it was already incredibly cold outside. The city lights were on and little warm orbs of lights coming from the street shops comforted me. It was early evening on the high street and everyone was going home to their families.
I found out years later that this was some kind of freak, icy cold winter of 1990 and 1991 in London and I was just one of many unlucky homeless teenagers to be caught in it. February was the worst and the coldest.
I was trying to get to my school, Ashbourne Tutors to use their phone, I had to call my mom’s sister, Aunt Nora, and beg her for help.
I didn’t have a place to sleep that night and all of my friend’s parents had let me stay at their places already and my situation scared their parents. Their parents wanted to know where the rest of my mom’s family was and why weren’t they here trying to help me? I didn’t know how to answer them.
I ducked into Marks & Spencer to try to get warm inside, and pretended to be a shopper. Sometimes I would hide the department store bathroom first to warm up and clean up.
Nobody bothered me because I was blonde and white. They thought I was just another rich American teenager. I used the makeup in the beauty counters and pretended my mom was coming soon to meet me and we’d buy some stuff as soon as she got there. The pretty ladies behind the counter would give me smiles but then when they saw my scruffy boots, they knew something was up. Rich kids don’t wear old boots like that. My coat and black ensemble leggings were passable, but the beat up boots gave me away.
My mom was in prison, the cops had taken my passport so I couldn’t leave the country in case they needed me to testify against mom.
It was two months after my seventeenth birthday and I wasn’t old or savvy enough or emotionally stable enough to get a job in a foreign country. Every time someone asked me where my family was, I would start crying and mumbling.
I was trying to make it to my school, Ashbourne Tutors, before they closed, so I could use their phone and call my Aunt Nora. She would help me and save me. There was nobody else to call, she was the only one left who could help me.
My father was a raging, abusive alcoholic and the last time I saw him, he had his hands around my mother’s throat and was trying to throw her off a balcony in California.
My mother’s father had died; but he had stopped stepping in to clean up her horrible messes when he got remarried about 10 years earlier.
My mothers’ brother Bernie lived in Connecticut and was wealthy and had a good job, but he and his wife, who was my godmother, didn’t really seem to like me. I think they thought I was like Mom, and apparently I had too much emotional baggage for the people of Darien, Connecticut to handle.
Mom’s family would handle her regular arrests that left her children defenseless & homeless by throwing some money her way when we lived in motels for months, but it never really helped the actual problem, because she would always fail, again. We’d move into a house and live there for three months, and then move again when we got evicted.
Our mother was unemployable and mentally ill, and everyone in her family had looked the other way for most our lives and gave her minimum amounts of money to move us out of motels; but the real problem was that she wasn’t a fit parent and nobody wanted to step in and raise four physically and emotionally violated girls; especially when they resented their sick sister so much. They last thing they wanted to do was to raise her four daughters.
Mom’s family didn’t step in when were she had the Charlie Manson types living in our garage when we were toddlers, or when we were homeless kids living in motels and dangerous situations.
They weren’t going to step in now. They had made it really clear that they had their own families and I wasn’t part of it.
My mom’s other sister, Aunt Maggie lived in California and was a schoolteacher. I had seen Aunt Maggie when we had gotten back from Australia when mom was on the game show there; and she wouldn’t let us sleep at her house when we got back. We had taken a shuttle from the airport after a 24 hour flight and she turned us away and told us to go to a motel. It looked like she was done with Mom abusing her and said stuff was missing from her house after the last time we stayed, so we weren’t welcome there anymore.
Aunt Nora was the only one I remember with any warmth, she used to take us roller-skating in Balboa Park, all of us four girls and our two cousins, little Maggie and Matt. We’d all pile into her green Volkswagen Bug and putter off to the park to skate. She was magnificent, beautiful and tall, with flowing strawberry blonde hair that gleamed in the sun. We’d listen to the album Hair and watch her dance and spin around with her hair fanning out and spinning like a gleaming hummingbird. We would make up dance routines and I planned my own rock opera and Aunt Nora would be the star of it.
Aunt Nora was there at the hospital when I was born and the first memory I have. She had lived with us until I was six years old. But in 1980, she moved away to Texas and married the computer guy from MIT and they started their own computer company and they started having their own kids.
She was my mother’s youngest hippie sister who married a smart guy from MIT when he was on his bike; when they were in their 20’s and were now a multi-millionaires. She and her husband owned multi-million dollar a year semiconductor brokering business in Houston that they started out of their kitchen. My oldest sister Meagan was close to her. Meagan was moving to Houston soon to go to college and be Aunt Nora’s nanny. She might’ve even been there now, I didn’t know. I hadn’t talked to them in awhile because after Mom got arrested the day after Christmas; the cops locked the house we were renting and I moved in with friends and started couch surfing.
My oldest sister Meagan was a waitress at Pizza Hut and putting herself through community college. My second oldest sister, Katie was 19 and just had a baby and was raising my youngest sister, Erin, who was 15 and living with her in upstate New York. We all had been working since we were 14, because we had to. Sometimes Mom would ask for our tips. My sisters couldn’t help me, and I didn’t want to call them to tell them I got tricked by Mom, again. They already knew. I was the only one who really thought Mom would spin our lives into gold and we’d magically start a new life in England and she’d get a job as a writer.
I had fallen for the story again. The one where we moved to a new city and she started over and became the parent I needed her to be.
But I knew Aunt Nora would save me, she would come out here and help me get out of this horrific mess and take me home to live with her and her family, she loved me. I could help nanny too. I knew she would save me from Mom, homelessness and this terrible, terrible cold shivering that I could not shake. She would send help.
My hands stopped shaking when I finally got to the third floor of my old school, Ashbourne Tutors, above Kensington market. They had these old fashioned heaters that hissed in the hallway when you came in and I would sit there and warm up until I felt better.
The Headmaster was a kind Canadian and had let me go there for free after he had found out my Mom was in Holloway Women’s Prison, but I didn’t go to class anymore. I couldn’t sit in class with all these super rich happy kids who had houses and parents and a bedroom to go home to and things to look forward to. They showed me everything I didn’t have and parents I would never have.
I would go to the school to get warm and see my old friends. I used their phone when I needed to and leave as soon as I could. I was the homeless kid of a con artist and didn’t belong there.
Lately I was going to the school to use their phone at night, before they closed, so not a lot of people would still be there. I didn’t want to see my old teachers anymore. Late evening was the best time to come into the school, get warm and maybe steal a hot cup of coffee from lobby without seeing too many people.
The teachers at this school were so kind to me that I would start to sob uncontrollably. It was embarrassing. I didn’t know why it hurt more to have someone be kind to me than to tell me what a loser I was.

This came into effect for any year-ends beginning after March 23, 2016. The real impact of this was felt as the 2017 fiscal year-ends wrapped up and corporations with income from a non-arm’s length party faced a tax rate of 27% (up from the Small Business rate of 12.5%). The assessment of non-arm’s length situations required additional tax planning and new Small Business Deduction allocations between the entities.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Federal Small Business tax rate will decrease from 10.5% to 10%. The combined rate for Alberta corporations will now be 12%. A further reduction to 9%, or 11% combined, is proposed for January 1, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2018, individuals receiving dividends from a “related business” could be subject to the highest marginal tax rate on this income. Certain exclusions may apply to business owner’s family members to reduce the tax on split income (“TOSI”). Should they not qualify for the exclusion, reasonableness tests would be applied to determine the appropriate personal tax rate. The criteria for the exclusions and the reasonableness tests requires a detailed analysis for each individual situation. Click here for an example of the fun that awaits.
Changes are coming but the actual details for application will only be announced in the upcoming Federal Budget. Finance Canada did indicate that the existing tax treatment would continue to apply to an annual threshold up to $50,000 of passive income. They have also indicated that existing investments would be “protected” and that the new rules would apply on a go forward basis. However, they have not defined how or what would actually be protected.
#1 – We are on it!
We know these changes will have an impact to each of you in some capacity. VR will continue to monitor developments and consider options to maximize your tax planning.
Staying on top of taxation changes and knowing how to interpret them continues to be an important part of the Vertefeuille Rempel service promise. We are always on the lookout for these and other financial developments and keep our eyes peeled to make sure we can leverage whatever tools are available to give our clients the best service and advice possible.

Farmlife has provided me with more opportunities to think about things. I spend a considerable amount of time using the muscles in my arms or legs, rather than my head. That leaves my head muscle “available.” Available to ponder and contemplate and think things through. Like, when I shovel the manure out of the barn-thinking time! Or when I drive the tractor through the hayfield-thinking time! Or when I weed-eat-thinking time! If you’ve hung out with me for any period of time here, you know that PEACE is one of my quests. For me, for the tiny corner of my world, and for the whole world.
I’m wondering about YOUR best three dollar purchase? A cup of coffee can cost $3 these days, you know. So, what’s YOURS? What is your most favorite thing you’ve gotten for three hundred pennies?
Who, me? Well, the other day I’m at a thrift store.
And I see something that I simply must have.
“Three bucks,” the clerk answered.

When I was a kid I don’t think it even occurred to me that one could make their own salad dressing, to me it was just an item in the grocery store that came bottled; it would be like making your own mustard as far as I was concerned. I have since converted my mind set to one where I rarely buy salad dressing because it’s so darn easy to make and customize and it doesn’t include gums and emulsifiers as the store bought ones do.
This particular dressing was designed to top my Southwest Chicken Bowls but it would be great on any salad that has a Tex Mex or Southwest theme.
Build this dressing in a bullet style blender, it’ll come together in less than 5 minutes. If you don’t have a blender, chop or mince everything very fine and whisk by hand.

It’s no secret amongst those who know me that I’m a huge lover of the works of Disney and Pixar. This also makes me a vocal critic of their lesser efforts. I’ve no hesitance in saying that both companies have had their share of duds—Pixar with two in a row as of late with the disappointing Brave and the soulless Cars 2. When a prequel was announced to Monsters Inc. in the form of Monsters University, I found myself disappointed due to Pixar’s apparently failing once again to strive for the original storytelling they’re known for, and instead relying on a popular property to make bank off of, similarly to what they did with Cars 2. Now I’m glad to report that University is a follow-up closer to Toy Story 2 in quality after all.
The film places Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James “Sully” Sullivan (John Goodman) back into the spotlight—this time as students at the titular Monsters University. Mike lacks the physical attributes to be a frightening creature, and has compensated by studying the notably intricate techniques that go into a successful scaring. Sully, on the other hand, comes from a legacy of renowned scarers, and was blessed with an intimidating demeanor that he has failed to back up with the proper skill. Jealous of one another’s talents, the two immediately bash heads, leading them to suspension from their scare class. Forced into a fraternity of losers, the two have to compensate for what they lack whilst becoming the friends we know from the sequel to make the grade.
Monsters University has the great animation you’d come to expect from a Pixar film, and some of the humor too (especially visual comedy). It’s entertaining and there are some great moments, but overall, it’s a weaker effort compared to its predecessors. All of your obligatory college jokes are here, but it did spare us egregious references to Animal House, so there’s that. However, having said this, the feature deserves praise for actually being a strong prequel. Instead of diminishing its predecessor, it actually enriches the original film the way this one fleshes out the universe. This, as well as twists in the narrative, makes up for the moments of running through the motions.
Due to the premise of the film, there’s a level of predictability you expect going into it. And in a lot of ways, as I’ve pointed out, you’d be right. Maybe it’s due to lowered expectations, but I found myself respecting the movie for the turns it took with the story. University delivers with a strong message for kids: You can’t always be what you want to be, no matter how bad you want it. Some people are born with opportunities that we can’t hope to attain, but we all have something unique that we can contribute with, albeit with a lot of hard work. While the movie delivers its theme with a subtlety you’d expect from a kids’ product, it’s still very well. Despite shortcomings and moments that don’t hit the mark, Monsters University passes with flying colors when it comes to delivering the heart you’d hope for in a Pixar film.

Fort Wayne, IN (12/7/14) – The Fort Wayne Biosolids Handling Facility takes sewage and yard waste such as grass clippings and leaves to compost for fertilizer. Leaves are transported to the facility and kept for a year, where the composting process begins. Eventually treated sewage from the city’s wastewater treatment plant is mixed with the leaves. After the final step of drying the material and filtering out larger clumps, residents are permitted to pick up the material free of charge if they load it themselves. There is a fee to have employees do the loading.

Al Green, Otis Redding and Sam & Dave may dominate our list, but you'll find our No. 1 song hiding in shadows.
It’s an anniversary year for Memphis music, with both Stax and Hi/Royal celebrating their 60th birthdays with various concerts and events over the past year. To honor these dual pillars of Memphis soul music, and a little more like them, I offer one writer and lifelong fan’s opinion on Memphis’ 60 greatest soul songs.
I’m defining classic soul as a specific period within a longer lineage of rhythm and blues, starting roughly in the early 1960s (even if these soul-identified labels/studios were founded a little earlier) and dispersing into other subgenres by the mid-1970s. In artistic essence, soul was the secularization of black gospel, mirroring the political activity of the church during the concurrent civil rights movement. The integrationist impulse in an essentially black music was marked by the white faces among the musicians, songwriters, and producers, if less so among the singers.
While Memphis’ instrumental heritage is unfathomably rich, I set non-vocal tracks aside as tangential. Perhaps this is a cheat to free up more spots. Regardless, we’ll acknowledge that Booker T. & the MGs’ “Green Onions” and “Time is Tight,” the Mar-Keys’ “Last Night,” Willie Mitchell’s “Soul Serenade,” the Bar-Kays’ “Soul Finger” and others are obviously part of the story.
Memphis soul influenced Memphis rock, and you could make an argument that the Box Tops’ “Soul Deep” and Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” deserve to be here. I set them aside.
Stax in particular sometimes released music recorded elsewhere, and I included some of that, but decided that sure shots such as Mel & Tim’s “Starting All Over Again” and the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There” belong more to Muscle Shoals.
And, finally, while 60 songs is the bare tip of a massive Memphis soul iceberg, that’s especially true of the work of Otis Redding, Al Green and Sam & Dave, who are heavily represented here but could have placed even more titles on the list. To paraphrase our late Arkansas neighbor Levon Helm, of The Band, when it comes to those artists, I took what I absolutely needed and I left the rest.
“Written” seems wrong. This greatest of “cheating” songs feels more like a discovery than a creation, like some ancient public domain title that was floating in the air. Carr applies his haunting gravity without the usual melismatic embellishment. He lets the song’s deathless words carry it. After an echoey intro from guitarist Reggie Young, the band similarly holds back while leaning in. It feels like there’s a thick novel’s worth of experience in it.
2. “Love and Happiness” — Al Green (1973): Green is as associated with eros (romantic love) as any singer, but this visionary anthem could be read as a sermon on agape, its higher form. Co-written with Teenie Hodges, whose guitar sets it off, Green offers a romantic promise that suggests a civic benediction, a soul rewrite of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:” “You be good to me/I’ll be good to you/We’ll be together.” And let it be so.
3. “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)” — Otis Redding (1965): Co-written with singer Jerry Butler, and it starts with a waltz-like rhythm similar to Butler’s “For Your Precious Love.” But the Stax crew matches Redding’s almost uncomfortable intimacy with a more dynamic rise-and-fall structure that finally gives way to helpless pleading. The next year, Redding would release a single called “My Lover’s Prayer.” He’d already submitted his greatest one.
4. “Soul Man” — Sam & Dave (1967): Perhaps it suffers from overexposure. But try to listen with fresh ears: Steve Cropper’s guitar intro as an old friend walking through the door. Horns, then full rhythm section, then Sam & Dave tumbling behind in succession. David Porter’s lyric a Statement of Principles, a pinnacle of soul philosophy. (“Got what I got the hard way/And I’ll make it better each and every day.”) And there are few things in all of recorded sound as exciting as the mingling of stray licks and exhortations (Play it, Steve!) that bubble up each time chorus gives way to verse.
5. “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” — Otis Redding (1968): Conceived in the aftermath of his triumphant trip to California for the Monterey Pop Festival, it posits road weariness as a metaphor for Redding’s career journey, seeking a place of succor. Recorded in Memphis on Dec. 7, 1967, three days before Redding died, it emerged as a kind of self-penned epitaph, with Redding’s whistling carrying us off into the mystic when words become insufficient.
6. “I Can’t Stand the Rain” — Ann Peebles (1973): It’s ostensibly a lament for a lost relationship. But the rain against Peebles’ window pain, literalized in the song’s electric timbale open, is as deep an object of contemplation as Otis Redding’s bay tides. Here, though, the elements represent not peace, but emotional peril. Peebles made it a Top 40 hit. Nearly a quarter-century later, Missy Elliott took the song back to the bank, with a rap rewrite — “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” — that might be Memphis soul’s greatest hip-hop moment.
7. “Try a Little Tenderness” — Otis Redding (1966): A complete soul symphony in three movements and 200 seconds. A Memphis Horns fanfare opens into a deliberate first verse. Al Jackson Jr.’s metronomic drumming shifts into mid-tempo midway through. Redding and the band bring it home with all the fury they can summon. You could call it the soul “Stairway to Heaven,” except that it came five years earlier. The song was a Tin Pan Alley standard. Redding and the guys on McLemore Avenue destroyed it so that it might live.
8. “Take Me to the River” — Al Green (1974): A third meditation on water imagery in the Top 10, and perhaps the one most fully Memphian, with rivers more central to our identity than rain or, certainly, bays. A secular song about being cleansed, it also lives in the friction between gospel and R&B that created soul. Green wrote it with Teenie Hodges and recorded it, but Syl Johnson’s funkier version was the single and the hit. Take your pick, but this list deems Green’s a kind of Platonic ideal of soul.
10. “Hold On, I’m Comin’” — Sam & Dave (1966): The origin story of this Isaac Hayes/David Porter creation derives from what one said to the other during an elongated stay in the john. The final work is pure urgency and momentum distilled in 155 rumbling, tumbling seconds. Sam & Dave call out, and Al Jackson Jr. delivers them home.
11. “You Don’t Miss Your Water” — William Bell (1961): One of Stax’s foundational singles, Bell’s self-penned breakthrough is essentially a country ballad driven by black gospel piano, a kind of re-imagining of the “great wedding ceremony” between country and blues that had been conducted crosstown at Sun a few years before. Country-influenced artists from the Byrds (1968) to Sturgill Simpson (2016) would claim it.
12. “Let’s Stay Together” — Al Green (1971): Green’s biggest and most familiar hit. Break-up songs are probably more plentiful in the soul/pop canon than make-up songs, but, on the latter front, Green’s signature has become a standard.
13. “A Nickel and a Nail” — O.V. Wright (1971): Released by Houston’s Back Beat Records, but pure Memphis, recorded at Royal, produced by Willie Mitchell, played by the Hi Rhythm house band, and taken to the dark end of the street by Wright, whose desolation is more existential than romantic.
14. “These Arms of Mine” — Otis Redding (1962): The subject of Redding’s Memphis origin story, where he is said to have shown up as the valet for another artist (Johnny Jenkins) and left a star. The then-unknown 20-year-old from Macon stretches out the opening refrain — “Theeeese arrrms of miiine” — until he reaches immortality.
15. “Belle” — Al Green (1977): Self-produced by Green, without Willie Mitchell’s assistance, this farewell to the singer’s pop muse — “It’s you that I want but Him that I need” — is itself touched by grace. At nearly five minutes, it’s probably the longest record on this list, building Green’s testimony in layers until it dissolves into a kind of singing in tongues.
16. “Knock on Wood” — Eddie Floyd (1966): Co-written by Floyd and guitarist/producer Steve Cropper during a stormy night at the Lorraine Motel and recorded as a demo for Otis Redding. Instead, Floyd’s demo was released and became an R&B chart-topper, with Al Jackson Jr.’s “knocking” drum break as the song’s trademark hook.
18. “Born Under a Bad Sign” — Albert King (1967): Six years earlier, the Beale Street-bred Bobby “Blue” Bland had released the classic album “Two Steps From the Blues,” a kind of soul precursor. Here, on a Booker T. Jones/William Bell co-write, King crafts perhaps the greatest blend of blues and soul. The song is timeless, elemental even. King’s piercing guitar leads and authoritative testifying nails it in place.
19. “Walking the Dog” — Rufus Thomas (1963): Thomas had another animal-themed dance hit six years later with “Do the Funky Chicken,” but this Top 10 breakthrough is probably the most charming record of a charming career. If it sounds like a party broke out in the studio, well that’s essentially what happened. In this case, the Stax house band is the dog Rufus takes for a walk, whistling and exhorting them “C’mon now! C’mon! C’mon!” Guitarist Steve Cropper and sax player Packy Axton wag their tails at the head of the pack.
20. “Tired of Being Alone” — Al Green (1971): Here’s where you can hear Green’s musical future crystallize. Teenie Hodges’ clean, sinuous guitar line, a fat bass sound, a gospel-schooled chorus, a late drum fill (Al Jackson Jr?) that pulls the song back for a big finish, Green riffing idiosyncratically off his own composition. There’s a lot going on here, but under Willie Mitchell’s guidance it sounds of one soft, supple, distinctive piece. In the context of 1971, it sounds like a revelation.
21. “Respect” — Otis Redding (1965): “That little girl stole my song,” Redding reportedly said when Aretha Franklin transformed “Respect” a couple of years later. He was right, but it was already a classic, with Al Jackson Jr. powering it and the Memphis Horns responding to Redding’s call.
22. “Wait You Dog” — Mable John (1967): John was the older sister of gone-too-soon R&B pioneer Little Willie John and spent different stints backing up Ray Charles as a Raelette. Legends both, but, man, did she make some great, under-the-radar records in a brief solo stint at Stax. The Steve Cropper/Eddie Floyd-penned “Wait You Dog” — a “B” side! — moves as fast and cooks as hot as just about any Stax side. And when John opens by chastising the target of her derision — “Now don’t stand there crying when you know, yeah, you been lying” — you can see him slinking back under the porch in shame.
23. “In the Midnight Hour” — Wilson Pickett (1965): Pickett wasn’t a Stax artist, but Atlantic Records honcho Jerry Wexler brought him down to work with the Memphis crew, and Pickett and Steve Cropper co-penned and recorded this soul standard. Pickett promises his “love” will come tumbling down and then bassist Duck Dunn and drummer Al Jackson Jr., in particular, turn that promise into sound.
25. “When Will We Be Paid” — The Staple Singers (1969): In 1963, on the National Mall, Martin Luther King Jr. came to cash a past-due promissory note on behalf of all African-Americans. Six years later, and a year after King was felled 2.5 miles from the Stax studio, soul’s most civil rights-connected group, with Steve Cropper producing, takes up his cause. And they bring receipts.
26. “You’ve Got My Mind Messed Up” — James Carr (1966): Carr’s first significant single for Goldwax introduces a soul singer to rival Otis Redding or Sam Moore over at Stax. A bluesy guitar lick (Reggie Young?) and brass punctuation (Memphis Horns?) sets the stage, while Carr’s careful vocal caress builds to a pulpit fury by the end.
27. “Big Bird” — Eddie Floyd (1968): Proof that Stax could have been a hard rock label if they’d wanted, launched by Duck Dunn’s bass rumble and Steve Cropper’s ringing riff. Booker T. Jones, who could do anything, produced and co-wrote with Floyd.
28. “Who’s Making Love” — Johnnie Taylor (1968): The West Memphis-bred Taylor had once been Sam Cooke’s hand-picked replacement in the gospel group the Soul Stirrers. Cooke had left gospel to become a secular sensation, but he was never this secular. Taylor leads a teasing treatise on the games people play, pushed along by one of the most rubbery, propulsive tracks to ever emerge from Stax. Taylor lets loose an opening scream and Al Jackson Jr. and Duck Dunn treat it like a starting pistol. Everyone else just tries to keep pace.
29. “I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home” — Ann Peebles (1972): Sometimes a great song title can get you half the way there, but a great singer still has to take you home. Here Peebles is alone and restless, but instead of sending her back into her memories, raindrops against her window send her out into the streets, where no-one else’s relationship is safe. The background vocals play at an angel on her shoulder (“Don’t break it up”), but against the slinky, bluesy backdrop, we don’t believe them. Neither does Peebles.
30. “Trying to Live My Life Without You” — Otis Clay (1972): Ripped off by the Eagles seven years later under the name “The Long Run,” then properly credited, by place at least (“an old Memphis song”), by Bob Seger, who sought to make amends. But stick to the source, this itinerant gospel/soul/blues singer’s funkiest record and biggest hit, for Hi Records.
31. “Jesus is Waiting” — Al Green (1973): Three years before Green took the pulpit at his own Full Gospel Tabernacle, this “Call Me” album cut was both a promise and a foreshadowing. As a composition, it was a kind of instant soul-gospel standard. As a recording, Green is brilliant, but maybe it’s Leroy Hodges’ bass that really brings you to the altar.
33. “When Something is Wrong With My Baby” — Sam & Dave (1967): Soul music’s greatest duo tended toward uptempo, but their deepest gospel-schooled harmonizing is on this slow-burning testament to romantic fidelity.
34. “Gee Whiz” — Carla Thomas (1961): On paper, it wasn’t much, an expression of teen romantic longing and innocence in the vein of the then-ascendant “girl group” genre. But Carla Thomas wrote it at 15, in a 10th grade notebook, and put all her yearning into it when she recorded it at 17. The strings and doo-wop-style backing vocals depart from what would become the Stax sound, but this was the label’s, and thus Memphis soul’s, first national hit.
35. “Woman to Woman” — Shirley Brown (1974): Stax founder Jim Stewart came back from a two-year studio hiatus to produce new label discovery Brown, who performs the song, including the opening “rap,” with such relatable intimacy it would probably land her daytime TV hosting gig today. Al Jackson Jr. and Duck Dunn reunite, lending the song a molasses groove — slow, thick, and sweet.
36. “Private Number” — William Bell & Judy Clay (1968): Stax was known for its feel, but Booker T. Jones was probably the label’s most schooled musician and this might be the greatest fruit of his sophistication. Jones co-wrote with Bell and produced, with his own string arrangement and low-key guitar making the song something of a stylistic departure. With Otis & Carla’s “Tramp” more of a one-off, “Private Number” is the Stax male/female duet closest to what Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell were then doing for Motown.
37. “Wrap it Up” — Sam & Dave (1968): The Sam & Dave/Hayes & Porter partnership was so irrepressible in the late Sixties that somehow a record as hot as “Wrap It Up” ended up as a “B” side, to the equally ecstatic "I Thank You." Every person in the studio is showing off for all two-and-half-minutes and somehow still grooving in unison.
38. “I Can’t Get Next to You” — Al Green (1970): This wasn’t the first time Memphis had done Motown; check out Otis Redding’s version of the Temptations’ “It’s Growing.” But Green came of age in Michigan before landing under producer Willie Mitchell’s wing, and this first meaningful Memphis hit links his two homes. The Temptations' original was one of Motown’s more overactive constructions. Green and Mitchell slow it down, smooth it out and thicken it. But if this “I Can’t Get Next to You” mixes Motown and Memphis, it also links two other soul institutions. Harder than the sound Green and Mitchell would soon perfect together, it’s also the emerging star at his most Stax-like. The fadeout squeal may be the first time Green gave goosebumps.
39. “Respect Yourself” — The Staple Singers (1971): In the 1970s, Stax sent a lot of its recording to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and here’s where the two soul meccas probably best come together, with some recording apparently done in both places. The topical, gospel-inflected song was written expressly for the Staple Singers’ distinctive style by Stax songwriters Mack Rice (“Mustang Sally”) and Luther Ingram. That its message was so mutable — Progressive? Reactionary? Whatever you want to hear. — probably helped it become a big hit in such fraught times.
40. “How Can You Mistreat the One You Love?” — Jeanne & The Darlings (1967): Hayes & Porter were best known for their work with Sam & Dave, but one of their most infectious creations is this comparatively obscure, finger-popping romantic prosecution from a family “girl group” out of Arkansas.
41. “You Won’t Do Right” — Bobby Marchan (1964): Marchan was a drag artist and nightclub performer who bounced around the Sixties soul/R&B scene and had a cup of coffee at Stax, where he collaborated with co-writer Steve Cropper on this showstopper, Marchan’s near-falsetto wailing and testifying playing off of Cropper’s after-hours blues licks.
42. “I Got a Sure Thing” — Ollie & the Nightingales (1968): Co-written by leader Ollie Hoskins with Booker T. Jones and William Bell, produced by Jones, and further evidence that Booker/Bell is an underrated Stax team. The vocal group call-and-response gives it a different flavor from most Stax hits, and the focus on domestic contentment stands out in soul writ large. “When I come home in the evening/My aching back she’ll rub/My dinner’s on the table/And my woman’s in the tub,” Ollie observes, and it makes him scream like Wilson Pickett.
43. “What a Man” — Linda Lyndell (1968): A drawling, bluesy white girl from Florida, Linda Lyndell found her way onto the R&B circuit and in Memphis for a couple of sessions. In the second one, she sang the hell out of “What a Man,” made it a hit, and then mostly disappeared. A quarter-century later, hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa sampled the record’s unforgettable liquid intro and reworked the song into a hit all over again.
44. “Pouring Water on a Drowning Man” — James Carr (1966): With the guitar shaking its head in commiseration and the horn section acting as Greek chorus, Carr describes his plight with a particularly hard-edged vocal. The misfortune is so profound even the victim chuckles in disbelief.
45. “Don’t Be Afraid of Love” — Oscar Mack (1963): Mack was an opening act for Otis Redding, whose manager, Phil Walden gets a co-write with the singer here. Redding later recorded it too, but with its swooning horns and proto-ska rhythm, the original is an underrated Stax gem.
46. “Cause I Love You” — Carla & Rufus (1960): Carla Thomas, piano-playing brother Marvell, drummer Howard Grimes (future Hi Rhythm member), and Booker T. Jones (on sax!) were all teenagers when Carla and her disc jockey father cut this, um, unconventional duet, the first record at what would be Stax’s McLemore Avenue studio and a local/regional hit that launched the label.
47. “Mr. Big Stuff” — Jean Knight (1971): Recorded by Jackson, Mississippi’s Malaco Records and licensed by Stax, but, hey, Jackson is close enough and this massive Stax hit creates so much happiness that we’re claiming it.
48. “Son of a Preacher Man” — Dusty Springfield (1968): “Dusty in Memphis” was a misnomer, the celebrated British singer allegedly too intimidated by Bluff City’s American Studio to lay down her vocals there. She and her back-up, the Sweet Inspirations, cut vocals in New York. But the real soul here isn’t the singer or even the song, so written-to-order it was offered to Aretha Franklin, who turned it down and then came back and did it anyway. It’s the Memphis-made music, under Chips Moman’s direction, especially Reggie Young’s harmonic guitar and Tommy Cogbill’s smooth bass, the later effect achieved by greasing the strings with Vaseline.
49. “I’ve Been Lonely for So Long” — Frederick Knight (1972): A Stax one-hit wonder and one of the label’s odder success stories, with a country-ish guitar sound, tambourine percussion, and Knight leaping from a lead falsetto to a bass refrain to a spoken interlude. It somehow adds up to a fun, memorable record.
50. “Stop Half Loving These Women” — Jimmy Lewis (1973): A later version by Johnnie Taylor might be more well-known, but search out the original, a Volt single by songwriter Lewis, whose admonition to the men in the listening audience, those committing the crime of giving third-class love to first-class ladies, is one of Stax’s richest minor pleasures.
51. “Back for a Taste of Your Love” — Syl Johnson (1973): Johnson was arguably Hi’s most charismatic male singer not named “Al Green.” While Green’s version of “Take Me to the River” gets the nod here, Johnson deserves representation, and “Back for a Taste of Your Love” features one of Hi Rhythm’s most undeniable grooves.
52. “Theme From Shaft” — Isaac Hayes (1971): Hayes’ shift from behind-the-scenes songwriter/producer to solo star coincided with and perhaps prompted a broader shift from classic soul to a new kind of Seventies R&B. His mammoth covers (“Never Can Say Goodbye,” “Walk On By”) may be truer to his artistry, but the indelible wah-wah and hi-hat intro (courtesy of Charles “Skip” Pitts and Willie Hall, respectively) and Hayes’ tongue-in-cheek hardboiled commentary makes “Shaft” the people’s champ.
53. “(If Loving You is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right” — Luther Ingram (1972): One of the great modern cheating ballads, with a dollop of downhome blues. It was written by in-house Stax songwriters Homer Banks, Carl Hampton, and Raymond Jackson, and while Ingram wasn’t the first to record it, he took it to the top of the charts.
54. “Call Me (Come Back Home)” — Al Green (1973): The title track to Green’s greatest studio album — maybe just Memphis’ greatest studio album — is a wary consideration of the gulf between breakup and reconciliation.
55. “Aretha, Sing One For Me” — George Jackson (1972): Aretha Franklin was born in Memphis in 1942 but departed soon after. Twenty-five years later, she found her signature hit in a Memphis song (Otis Redding’s “Respect”). Another five years later, Memphis called out to her with this request from Hi Records songwriter Jackson.
56. “I’ll Go Crazy” — Don Bryant (1968): Before his recent comeback, Bryant was probably better known as a songwriter (“I Can’t Stand the Rain,” “99 Pounds”) than as a performer. But this Hi Records testament shows that he always had it.
57. “Bar-B-Q” — Wendy Rene (1964): The Wu-Tang Clan sampled the percolating intro to Rene’s “After Laughter (Comes Tears),” but I’m going with this civic anthem. Steve Cropper co-wrote and cuts loose on it. The sax player sounds as hungry as Rene.
58. “There Goes My Used to Be” — Wee Willie Walker (1967): Goldwax was more than James Carr, with fine records from Spencer Wiggins, the Ovations, and others. This non-Carr Goldwax fave swings with the ease of a good Sam Cooke single but with a dose of Memphis grit.
59. “Walk Away” — Ann Peebles (1969): St. Louis native Peebles relocates to Memphis to work with Willie Mitchell and Hi Records. With Mitchell's trademark Hi groove still off in the distance, Peebles' debut is a churchy country-soul shouter — less torch song than burn-down-the-house song.
60. “Tell Him Tonight” — Rudolph Taylor (1967): If Goldwax was Stax and Hi’s stepbrother, then smaller studios/labels, such as Sounds of Memphis, were more like cousins. The best rediscovered output can’t match the best of Stax/Hi, or even Goldwax, which makes 60 a hard number to crack. So let this deep soul ballad, sung with gravity by relative unknown Taylor, written by Charles Chalmers (known for backup singing for Al Green and others), and featuring ace American hands such as Reggie Young and Tommy Cogbill, stand in for the legion of Memphis soul on the margins.

"Colonel Stonehill said you were a road agent before you got to be a marshal."
"I wondered who was spreading that talk. That old gentleman would do better minding his own business."
"Then it is just talk."
"It is very little more than that. I found myself one pretty spring day in Las Vegas, New Mexico, in need of a road stake and I robbed one of them little high-interest banks there.

"That was the position they taken in New Mexico, " said he. "I had to fly for my life. Three fights in one day. Bo was a strong colt then and there was not a horse in that territory could run him in the ground. But I did not appreciate being chased and shot at like a thief."
Seven days passed, and then the waters of the flood covered the earth. It was the seventeenth day of the second month of Noe's six hundredth year, when all the springs of the great depth beneath broke through, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened; and it rained for forty days and forty nights on the earth. . . .
Rain, with thunderstorms also possible after 10am. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 62. South southeast wind between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.
Monday Night: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Low around 50. Breezy, with a south southwest wind 21 to 24 mph decreasing to between 7 and 10 mph. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Tuesday: Rain. High near 61. East northeast wind 5 to 11 mph becoming south. Chance of precipitation is 80%.
Tuesday Night: Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 47. South wind between 8 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
Wednesday: Rain. High near 59. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Wednesday Night: Rain. Low around 50. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Thursday: Rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a high near 58.
Thursday Night: Rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a low around 48.
Friday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 57.
I know. Rain isn't a big deal where you live. But it's another story here in this semi-desert area. It's even worth blogging about.
Beatification Of Empress Zita Opens: On Gaudete Sunday, December 13, Bishop Yves le Saux of Le Mans, France, announced that the cause of beatification of the Empress Zita, the last empress of Austria and wife of Blessed Emperor Charles, had formally begun. The process was opened in Le Mans, and not in the Swiss Diocese of Chur, where the Empress died 20 years ago in 1989 in Zizers. It was opened there with the consent of the bishop of Chur, and the permission of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, because the Abbey of Solesmes, where the empress frequently went on retreat, is located there.
The ties of the empress with Solesmes go back to 1909 when, after studying with the Visitationist Sisters at Zangberg, Bavaria, she briefly went to study with the Benedictine nuns of the abbey of St. Cecilia of Solesmes, the female sister- abbey of St. Peter of Solesmes, likewise founded by Dom Guéranger. In 1926, Zita became an oblate of St. Peter’s Abbey of Solesmes. She also received a papal indult allowing her to spend three months of each year within the enclosure of St. Cecilia’s Abbey.
If she is raised to the altars, she will also especially be the model of a wife — the deep religiosity of their marriage being exemplified by the famous words of her husband, Blessed Charles, on their wedding day: “Now we must help each other into Heaven.” Significantly, their wedding day, October 21, has already been appointed as the Feast Day of Blessed Charles.
The first two of the links to her husband, Blessed Karl of Austria-Hungary, in the left-hand column are no longer available. But here's a new one: the Wikipedia page has much good information, at least at the moment.
ADDENDUM: The links to Bl Karl and his Empress have been tidied up. One of the dead links is a great loss. It was a Geocities site with some wonderful pictures of Bl Karl that I had seen nowhere else. I'm outraged all over again at Yahoo's precipitate abandonment of the Geocities sites.
On the first Sunday of the month the traditional Mass is celebrated at the Dominguez Seminary and Claretian Residence chapel. That's the chapel in the picture above. A shame the camera in the cell phone can't do better as it was so much more beautiful in person. Dominguez is still my favourite venue for the old Mass.
Alan Wade on Scottish smallpipes playing The Keel Row, The Marquis of Huntly, and Lexy McCaskill.
You get smallpipes today as they are on my mind at the moment. I need to perfect a few tunes for a gig in a couple of weeks and today's practice session was a complete waste of time. The humidity was in the cellar today - 28 at 2:30 p.m. - and the reeds in the bellows pipes are sorely distressed. They like their bit of humidity and under 40 can be a problem. Under 30 isn't worth the time. And today the Border chanter wouldn't tune and the low G and A developed a vibrato. The drones in the smallpipes kept shutting down, too.
I knew I should've brought the Highland pipes.
But since I'm in a small pipe mood, here's another one. This one has mouth-blown small pipes playing Loch Lomond. Usually not a tune I care to hear on the pipes since it has to be significantly re-arranged to fit the pipe scale. But this fellow does such a fine job with it I may give it a try. Although, to get the right effect may require someone playing along on acoustic guitar.
Quite a lot so it would seem. First there was this ruling made last summer that, in accordance with 2,000 year old Catholic tradition, the ancient personal name of God used in the Hebrew scriptures shouldn't be used in proclaiming the scriptures at Mass. The ancient Jewish tradition doesn't hold with using His name at all.
Now in this morning's WSJ we learn that the Arabic speaking Christian Malaysians by law cannot call Him "Allah" either. . .something that Arabic speaking Christians have done since before Mohammed was a twinkle in his father's eye. You can read about that here.
Aside from the correctness of that last issue, I am oddly pleased that somewhere reverence and decorum do matter and blasphemy is not a good thing.
Not here, of course. This is southern California where no-one knows what blasphemy is and "irreverent" is used as a compliment. But somewhere.

This piece first posted on Asia Times.
The crush of travelers for the week around China’s National Day on October 1 broke previous records again. This time, my wife, May, her younger sister, Linda, and I were part of the bustle. We took a three-hour, high-speed train from Beijing westward to Taiyuan and then drove south for three hours to Qinyuan to participate in the ceremony honoring the memory of Professor Chih-Kung (C.K.) Jen, my father-in-law.
Jen, also known as Ren Zhigong in pinyin, was born in one of the 1,000 plus villages that make up the Qinyuan County in southern part of Shanxi province. After elementary school at the local village, his father arranged for Jen to live with his uncle in Taiyuan, the provincial capital, in order to obtain superior quality of schooling.
When Jen turned 14, Tsinghua Preparatory School in Beijing, where he would study for 6 years, accepted him. When he was 20, the school used funds from the Boxer Indemnity to send him to America for further education. Within five years, Jen received his Bachelors from MIT, Masters from Penn and PhD from Harvard, either in electrical engineering or physics.
After touring some of the higher institutions of learning in Germany, Jen returned to Beijing to begin teaching. On the day of his wedding, July 7, 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge incident took place between the Japanese troops and the Chinese soldiers guarding the bridge, which marked the beginning of China’s war with Japan. He barely made it through the city gate and back into the city of Beijing for his own wedding.
Shortly thereafter, he and his new wife had to abandon everything in their new home and make hasty plans to depart from the soon-to-be occupied Beijing. They made the long cross-country trek to join the faculty, first in Changsha and then on to the newly-formed Kunming, formed when the then-three most prestigious schools in China combined out of necessity.
The three universities were Peking University and Tsinghua University from Beijing and Nankai University from Tianjin. In order for China to continue to train its youth, these universities were asked to move south and combine forces. Thus, the awkwardly named National Southwestern Associated University was established in Kunming. Xinanlianda in Chinese was a more elegant and a better known name.
This university began with bare ground and farmers’ barns and homes on loan, operated under extreme hardship and faced regular bombing runs by the Japanese warplanes.
Yet in its eight years of existence from 1938 to 1946, the university accepted around 8,000 students and graduated slightly less than half.
Among the graduates were the first two future Chinese recipients of the Nobel Prize in physics, T.D. Lee and C.N. Yang, and many of the most influential scholars and intellectuals China has ever seen.
He probably spoke for all the students and faculty who were tested by those challenging years.

In 1972, after Nixon went to China, Jen, at the time the deputy director of the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, immediately set about organizing a group of Chinese America scientists and academicians to visit China.
When this first Chinese American group arrived in Beijing, it was a news sensation. Premier Zhou Enlai greeted this group at the Great Hall and held a five-hour long conversation that kept the group past 2 am. Jen was to be remembered as the leader of the first group of Chinese Americans to visit China.
Between 1972 and 1986, he visited China nine times including two visits to his ancestral village. Each time, he spent roughly six months giving lectures at various universities. He spoke not only on his scientific specialty but also on the latest topics in physics. He saw that scientific knowledge in China had fallen badly behind the West and he wanted to help the Chinese catch up.
He took full advantage of his personal meeting with Deng Xiaoping to put an emphasis on teaching science in China and urge Deng to revive the physics department at Tsinghua, a wing that was disbanded during the Cultural Revolution. The department soon resumed classes and the faculty continued to express their gratitude for Jen’s energetic advocacy.
At the dedication of his bronze bust at the corner of the town square on the occasion of his 110th birthday, C.K. Jen was remembered as the native son who became an accomplished scientist with an international reputation and loved his motherland. His life story was told on display boards around the bust, intended to inspire future generations.
The idea of honoring my father-in-law came from another remarkable young man, also a native son. As a boy, David Wei heard stories about Jen and one day it occurred to him that honoring him would be a good way to inspire younger generations. He talked to his two close friends into agreeing to jointly fund the memorial. He contacted me for the Jen family’s support and access to the family archive. Then he convinced the leaders of the county of the merits of the project.
David had been a major contributor to the growth of Qinyuan’s economy. Until he came along, the Qinxin Group had been making high quality coke from the rich coal deposits but did not have anyone to sell the final product. Within the first week of his joining the company, he sold out the inventory and proceeded to book annual standing orders from steel mills around the world that justified a succession of plant capacity expansions.

Today’s Qinyuan County covers nearly 1,000 square miles, virtually all consisting of steep hills and mountains with deep gullies. Elevation runs from just under 1,000 meters to just over 2,500 meters. Less than 9% are considered arable farmland, all on sloping terrain. About two thirds of the county consists of forests, known for a wide variety of medicinal herbs, amazing assortment of wild mushroom and game. The population of the county is under 160,000 and about 90% live on the farmland.
We were surprised by what we saw, namely lush green forested mountainsides and blue skies. Being the headwater source of three rivers, Qinyuan also did not lack water. Mayor Lian explained to me that Qinyuan had been following the dictum from the central government in not allowing any polluting industries. Qinyuan’s only industry is extracting the coal from the mine and converting it into coke. Tailing from the washing and gas from the conversion are captured and burned to produce electricity. The residual ash has been used in cement for building material.
During WWII, Qinyuan was bitterly contested between the PLA and the Japanese. For two and half years, the two sides fought to a virtual standstill. The civilians paid the price. Periodically, the Japanese troops would wage a “three all” campaign. The troops would sweep into a village and loot all, burn all and kill all. That’s the reason when we visited the ancestral home in the Hexi village, our hosts could only show us a partial wall and one remaining doorway.
Happily, those evil days are long gone. Today Qinyuan is enjoying an economic boom but without the usual accompaniment of dirty air and dirty water. I am not familiar with the criteria for a model development in China but Qinyuan should qualify.

There are a lot of different types of roofing materials these days. Some are actually far more than just practical, they are downright beautiful. However, most people won’t even consider replacing their roof until it actually needs to be replaced. This makes sense as replacing a roof is an expensive prospect, especially if the substrate materials need to be replaced along with the roofing tiles.
The most common reason for a roof replacement is age. No roofing material will last forever, and eventually, its age will require it to be replaced. Some do last longer than others, however, and when a roof needs to be replaced, the homeowner might want to consider the longevity of the materials. This is where Roofing Companies in Oshkosh WI will help.
For modern homes, the traditional roofing tile is asphalt. Asphalt tiles are usually black, but they can come in other colors, but the colors are muted so they don’t stand out. This type of tile is cheap to produce, easy to install and will work on any roof. The life-span for this tile is 30 years.
Wood shingles are incredibly expensive because of the nature of the materials and how difficult they are to install. In addition, they require annual resealing to keep them from being too deeply impacted by the elements. The maximum life for a wood tile is 15 years, and that’s if they are properly taken care of.
Concrete tiles are very versatile and can be created to fit almost any design aesthetic. They are very heavy, which makes them difficult to install. Roofing Companies in Oshkosh WI may also have to reinforce the structure of a home to support the heavy tiles. They are rated to last about 50 years.
Metal is a common option for roofing in the south, and it offers benefits to homes that get a lot of heat because it reflects the sun. This means that they can be energy saving. They are lightweight and metal sheets are very easy to install, while tiles are more time intensive. In either case, the cost is very expensive, about triple that of asphalt shingles, but there are some reports are that metal will last up to 100 years.
If you need a new roof contact us. We’ll help you find the right roofing materials for your style and your budget.

When Kelly and Zubair Harbert married in 1989, they outlined a plan for the next few decades. The central part of the plan — the part that would be most important and also most heart-wrenching — was to wait a few years and then start a family. The Laguna Hills couple, both engineers, assumed planning and timing would be the only hurdles to having a child when they were ready.
“It came time when we were going to decide to have children and we thought everything would work,” Kelly said.
Kelly and Zubair teamed up with Werlin to figure out why their dream of having children was being thrown off track. They went through procedures like artificial insemination but still Kelly did not become pregnant.
“We sat in his office a couple of times and cried,” Zubair said.
Kelly said that although she was only 37, she was worried that nothing would work.
“It’s a very emotional thing and then they give you these horrible treatment options,” she said.
Werlin recommended In-vitro fertilization as the next step. In-vitro would put sperm and egg cells together in a lab and then implant the embryos produced by the combination into Kelly’s uterus.
In-vitro, though, is a gamble. There is no screening process to pluck the healthiest embryos from the group and it can fail for dozens of reasons at every step of the process. Werlin told Kelly and Zubair about a new procedure that he said would increase their chances of success.
Embryos can have too many or not enough chromosomes, resulting in genetic diseases like Downs Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis. Four groups of patients — women 38 years and older, women with a history of miscarriage, women who have used In-vitro fertilization and had it fail more than once and men with low sperm counts — are all at elevated risk for producing embryos without the standard 46 chromosomes.
A new tool called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) allows doctors to examine the genetic material in embryos and select only the healthiest to implant. The procedure looks at embryos in the early stages of development, when they are only six or eight cells, and takes a close look at the nine chromosomes most commonly affected by genetic defects.
Werlin is the first doctor in Orange County to use PGD and he maintains that the new test can increase the chances of pregnancy for couples at-risk for failed pregnancies.
Kelly and Zubair participated in a study conducted by Werlin to find out if PGD could help couples have success with In-vitro fertilization. He said of the 21 couples that participated in the study, 70 percent of all the embryos were abnormal and 30 percent of the couples had no healthy embryos to implant. The dismal results, Werlin said, steered some of the couples toward options like using donor eggs or even adoption.
Werlin was approved to begin a new PGD study in January with 40 more couples.
Kelly and Zubair though, finally got lucky. After enduring painful shots that Kelly had to take nightly with a 2 ½ inch needle and forking over $3,500 for the PGD testing that their insurance would not cover, the Harberts can now talk about their experience over the gurgles of their squirming son.
Of the Harberts’ nine embryos that Werlin examined, only three were viable. All nine looked healthy under a microscope but PGD narrowed the field and allowed Werlin to implant only the three healthy embryos. Kelly and Zubair said the 50 blood tests and several hundred shots they endured were worth the chance that it could work. Kelly said she would have been thrilled if all three embryos implanted.
“I wanted triplets,” Kelly said.
She gave birth to their son Joshua on July 31 and Kelly said having one child has kept them busy.
“It’s amazing how much work it is,” she said.
But the work has been worth it and the Harberts are looking to keep expanding their family. They plan to go back to Werlin in February to start the process again.

EpoxyPRO Floor Coating is a two component 100% (+/- 1%) solids epoxy colored coating designed for applications where a high build colorfast impact resistant floor is needed.
Recommended for a high build topcoat or basecoat on concrete or masonry. Product is suitable in many chemical exposure environments.
2) SURFACE PREPARATION: The most suitable surface preparation would be a fine brush blast (shot blast) or diamond grind to remove all laitance and provide a suitable profile. All dirt, foreign contaminants, oil and laitance must be removed to assure a trouble free bond to the substrate. A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; this can be done by placing a 4’X4’ plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate is dry enough to start coating.
8) RESTRICTIONS: Restrict the use of the floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the floor remain dry for the full cure cycle.

Modern Mama is just a mom who loves her boys, Robert Vaughn “Bobby” and Constantine Joseph “CJ”. Introducing them to new foods, experiences, and places is my daily joy! As I join them in their journey, I’ll share an idea or two along the way. Of course, there are the mommy musings too. Check back every other week for new posts.
What a great blog! I especially appreciated the article on food allergies.

She must the killer. It's obvious.
At the first encounter with Crane.He says to Snow : "And tell Vivian I'm coming sooner from my massage."
From the comics,one could say Vivian is Crane's "girlfriend".She's the type of diva in for Crane's high position,and he always agrees with her,thinks she's and angel,even though she's not.Vivian is somewhat beautiful,so she manipulates Crane.
I guess you got your answer. Phyre took the words right out of my mouth.
When he said massage i assumed he meant he was going to a massage parlor so she could be a prostitute at the Pudding & Pie.
I don't remember any character named Vivian in the comics. It's been a while since I've read some of the earlier issues, (I skimmed through several of them recently), and since I wait for the TPBs I'm only caught up through issue #129. But, no, I don't remember her. He didn't talk about her the way that someone would talk about a girlfriend. Sounded like a business transaction. I was guessing that it was like Ozzy said, maybe she's a worker at the Pudding & Pie, or maybe she's something else.

Dougherty Report Rewind: One would think that the Governor of the state of Iowa would have a HUGE advantage in the Iowa caucuses, but that’s not what happened. Iowa’s Governor Tom Vilsack started his trek to the White House late in 2006, but horrible poll numbers and empty campaign coffers led to him pulling the plug eleven months before Barack Obama made his surprise win. Later, even before taking office, President-elect Obama would pick Vilsack to lead the USDA and he is the only original cabinet member still in place as the Obama administration winds down. Why is this important? USDA Secretary Vilsack has long deep ties to Monsanto, and thus the continuation of the “revolving door” between government and private industry. Scientists and researchers are finally making the connection between seeds produced in a laboratory and the big jumps they see in diabetes, heart disease and cancers.
The Dougherty Report talked about the “revolving door” several years ago and that conversation is as relevant today as it was then. As the 2016 election approaches, it’s time to start asking hard questions to ALL the candidates as to who they will select to serve in their administration. It’s time to ask what backroom promises are being made right now in exchange for campaign contributions. And it’s time to pass legislation that would ban the “revolving door” once and for all.

Two weeks to go. Top Tips on Pre Race Prep.
In the run up to the London Marathon we thought what better time to talk about pre race prep. We asked running experts Richard Felton and Emma Kirk-Odunubi from Profeet to give us their top tips on marathon tapering.
It allows muscle energy stores to return to their peak levels (glycogen). During training your bodies metabolic systems will have been stretched. By tapering it allows them to return to their optimal ranges. It will also allow your muscles to rejuvenate and recover. To summarise tapering allows your body to prepare for peak performance. Some studies have shown a proper taper can improve times in race by up to 3%!
By this time you should have completed your longest run of your training programme. Firstly, don’t worry if it was hard- it is supposed to be! Also, if new niggles arose that haven’t before, don’t panic. You have been pushing your body & mind in training for the last 14-18weeks, little aches are natural. 3 weeks out your mileage should be maintained but nothing excessive.
At this point you should also have tested out your race kit in a long run, shoes included. If you feel totally unsure whether your shoes will last the race, this would be the very last time to change them for race day. That being said, at all costs don’t change the model. Buy the exact shoe you had previous to avoid any breaking in difficulties, and honestly to be on the safe side!
Now, this week is when runs should reduce and be done all at an easy pace. One or two shorter runs should also be carried out at race pace- nothing far, 5-6 miles. This is essential only to keep the legs ticking over. In all other areas of your training you should be putting in time stretching and having some final massages. Any weights sessions for lower body should be eased off at this point also.
Nutritionally at the end of this week, you should now begin carbohydrate loading. Carbohydrate loading is a principle by which you increase your glycogen stores to a high level in the body, so that on race day you simply have more energy stored. These carbohydrates should mainly be complex such as rice, whole grains and pasta as well as, fruits/vegetables and proteins. Proteins are mainly consumed to help with muscle recovery.
With a week to go, focus on getting as much sleep as possible to be fully recovered. Stretching should be your key focus. Nutritionally don’t cut calories! Even though you are not exercising as much, your body still needs to store the energy- so now is not the time to be calorie conscious!
Lastly, remember you have put in all the hard work for race day. Just go out enjoy it. Don’t forget, running a marathon is an incredible achievement so no matter whether you cross that line running, walking or even crawling, you made it!

I’m bringing you the next Childhood Favorites Remade! This dish is something my mom made when I was in high school. Italian Apricot Chicken, which I’m now calling Italian Apricot Stew. It was super easy to make. I think this Italian Apricot Stew recipe stands the test of time. Still really easy, and super yummy, full flavored with lots of herbs and spices. Vegetarian or non-vegetarian.

He is the Beast who has no inner beauty, the Beast who has a tiny layer of golden colour between his skin and flesh, that some finds and believe is a goldmine. But they are wrong, and inside the Beast they find yellowish flesh and broken bones. For a while they believe Beast has his own inner beauty, but as time passes, in horror they realise their mistake.
They leave Beast to bleed from the wounds they’ve opened, searching for gold, and they leave the Rose to die, to drop its last petal.

Ladies, please join me for an evening of networking and inspiration. I will be sharing with you some of my Best Super-Business-Mom Hacks for how I maintain balance between my family and running my business. My goal is for you to walk away inspired with several take-aways that you can begin to implement into your life immediately. In fact, I would encourage you to give yourself permission to take the evening off and arrange for a sitter or the hubby to take over family duty so that you can feel relaxed and focused for just a few hours as my first several hacks are all about YOU. You see, peace and focus must come from within yourself before you can expect to experience it on the outside. You have to put yourself first. I know. I know. This sometimes goes against our grain as we are the nurturers and the ones who are concerned with taking care of everyone else. However, in reality, if we don’t give ourselves a little love, we will have nothing to give those around us.

1. That you are frequently troubled by the snuffling of catarrh and by short attacks of fever which follow after long and chronic catarrhal seizures, I am sorry to hear; particularly because I have experienced this sort of illness myself, and scorned it in its early stages. For when I was still young, I could put up with hardships and show a bold front to illness. But I finally succumbed, and arrived at such a state that I could do nothing but snuffle, reduced as I was to the extremity of thinness. 2. I often entertained the impulse of ending my life then and there; but the thought of my kind old father kept me back. For I reflected, not how bravely I had the power to die, but how little power he had to bear bravely the loss of me. And so I commanded myself to live. For sometimes it is an act of bravery even to live.
3. Now I shall tell you what consoled me during those days, stating at the outset that these very aids to my peace of mind were as efficacious as medicine. Honourable consolation results in a cure; and whatever has uplifted the soul helps the body also. My studies were my salvation. I place it to the credit of philosophy that I recovered and regained my strength. I owe my life to philosophy, and that is the least of my obligations! 4. My friends, too, helped me greatly toward good health; I used to be comforted by their cheering words, by the hours they spent at my bedside, and by their conversation. Nothing, my excellent Lucilius, refreshes and aids a sick man so much as the affection of his friends; nothing so steals away the expectation and the fear of death. In fact, I could not believe that, if they survived me, I should be dying at all. Yes, I repeat, it seemed to me that I should continue to live, not with them, but through them. I imagined myself not to be yielding up my soul, but to be making it over to them.
All these things gave me the inclination to succour myself and to endure any torture; besides, it is a most miserable state to have lost one's zest for dying, and to have no zest in living. 5. These, then, are the remedies to which you should have recourse. The physician will prescribe your walks and your exercise; he will warn you not to become addicted to idleness, as is the tendency of the inactive invalid; he will order you to read in a louder voice and to exercise your lungs the passages and cavity of which are affected; or to sail and shake up your bowels by a little mild motion; he will recommend the proper food, and the suitable time for aiding your strength with wine or refraining from it in order to keep your cough from being irritated and hacking. But as for me, my counsel to you is this, – and it is a cure, not merely of this disease of yours, but of your whole life, – "Despise death." There is no sorrow in the world, when we have escaped from the fear of death. 6. There are these three serious elements in every disease: fear of death, bodily pain, and interruption of pleasures. Concerning death enough has been said, and I shall add only a word: this fear is not a fear of disease, but a fear of nature. Disease has often postponed death, and a vision of dying has been many a man's salvation. You will die, not because you are ill, but because you are alive; even when you have been cured, the same end awaits you; when you have recovered, it will be not death, but ill-health, that you have escaped.
7. Let us now return to the consideration of the characteristic disadvantage of disease: it is accompanied by great suffering. The suffering, however, is rendered endurable by interruptions; for the strain of extreme pain must come to an end. No man can suffer both severely and for a long time; Nature, who loves us most tenderly, has so constituted us as to make pain either endurable or short. 8. The severest pains have their seat in the most slender parts of our body; nerves, joints, and any other of the narrow passages, hurt most cruelly when they have developed trouble within their contracted spaces. But these parts soon become numb, and by reason of the pain itself lose the sensation of pain, whether because the life-force, when checked in its natural course and changed for the worse, loses the peculiar power through which it thrives and through which it warns us, or because the diseased humours of the body, when they cease to have a place into which they may flow, are thrown back upon themselves, and deprive of sensation the parts where they have caused congestion. 9. So gout, both in the feet and in the hands, and all pain in the vertebrae and in the nerves, have their intervals of rest at the times when they have dulled the parts which they before had tortured; the first twinges, in all such cases, are what cause the distress, and their onset is checked by lapse of time, so that there is an end of pain when numbness has set in. Pain in the teeth, eyes, and ears is most acute for the very reason that it begins among the narrow spaces of the body, – no less acute, indeed, than in the head itself. But if it is more violent than usual, it turns to delirium and stupor. 10. This is, accordingly, a consolation for excessive pain, – that you cannot help ceasing to feel it if you feel it to excess. The reason, however, why the inexperienced are impatient when their bodies suffer is, that they have not accustomed themselves to be contented in spirit. They have been closely associated with the body. Therefore a high-minded and sensible man divorces soul from body, and dwells much with the better or divine part, and only as far as he must with this complaining and frail portion.
11. "But it is a hardship," men say, "to do without our customary pleasures, – to fast, to feel thirst and hunger." These are indeed serious when one first abstains from them. Later the desire dies down, because the appetites themselves which lead to desire are wearied and forsake us; then the stomach becomes petulant, then the food which we craved before becomes hateful. Our very wants die away. But there is no bitterness in doing without that which you have ceased to desire. 12. Moreover, every pain sometimes stops, or at any rate slackens; moreover, one may take precautions against its return, and, when it threatens, may check it by means of remedies. Every variety of pain has its premonitory symptoms; this is true, at any rate, of pain that is habitual and recurrent. One can endure the suffering which disease entails, if one has come to regard its results with scorn. 13. But do not of your own accord make your troubles heavier to bear and burden yourself with complaining. Pain is slight if opinion has added nothing to it; but if, on the other hand, you begin to encourage yourself and say, "It is nothing, – a trifling matter at most; keep a stout heart and it will soon cease"; then in thinking it slight, you will make it slight. Everything depends on opinion; ambition, luxury, greed, hark back to opinion. It is according to opinion that we suffer. 14. A man is as wretched as he has convinced himself that he is. I hold that we should do away with complaint about past sufferings and with all language like this: "None has ever been worse off than I. What sufferings, what evils have I endured! No one has thought that I shall recover. How often have my family bewailed me, and the physicians given me over! Men who are placed on the rack are not torn asunder with such agony!" However, even if all this is true, it is over and gone. What benefit is there in reviewing past sufferings, and in being unhappy, just because once you were unhappy? Besides, every one adds much to his own ills, and tells lies to himself. And that which was bitter to bear is pleasant to have borne; it is natural to rejoice at the ending of one's ills.
Let such a man fight against them with all his might: if he once gives way, he will be vanquished; but if he strives against his sufferings, he will conquer. As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support. If you begin to withdraw your support from that which thrusts toward you and totters and is ready to plunge, it will follow you and lean more heavily upon you; but if you hold your ground and make up your mind to push against it, it will be forced back. 16. What blows do athletes receive on their faces and all over their bodies! Nevertheless, through their desire for fame they endure every torture, and they undergo these things not only because they are fighting but in order to be able to fight. Their very training means torture. So let us also win the way to victory in all our struggles, – for the reward is not a garland or a palm or a trumpeter who calls for silence at the proclamation of our names, but rather virtue, steadfastness of soul, and a peace that is won for all time, if fortune has once been utterly vanquished in any combat. You say, "I feel severe pain." 17. What then; are you relieved from feeling it, if you endure it like a woman? Just as an enemy is more dangerous to a retreating army, so every trouble that fortune brings attacks us all the harder if we yield and turn our backs. "But the trouble is serious." What? Is it for this purpose that we are strong, – that we may have light burdens to bear? Would you have your illness long-drawn-out, or would you have it quick and short? If it is long, it means a respite, allows you a period for resting yourself, bestows upon you the boon of time in plenty; as it arises, so it must also subside. A short and rapid illness will do one of two things: it will quench or be quenched. And what difference does it make whether it is not or I am not? In either case there is an end of pain.
18. This, too, will help – to turn the mind aside to thoughts of other things and thus to depart from pain. Call to mind what honourable or brave deeds you have done; consider the good side of your own life. Run over in your memory those things which you have particularly admired. Then think of all the brave men who have conquered pain: of him who continued to read his book as he allowed the cutting out of varicose veins; of him who did not cease to smile, though that very smile so enraged his torturers that they tried upon him every instrument of their cruelty. If pain can be conquered by a smile, will it not be conquered by reason? 19. You may tell me now of whatever you like – of colds, bad coughing-spells that bring up parts of our entrails, fever that parches our very vitals, thirst, limbs so twisted that the joints protrude in different directions; yet worse than these are the stake, the rack, the red-hot plates, the instrument that reopens wounds while the wounds themselves are still swollen and that drives their imprint still deeper. Nevertheless there have been men who have not uttered a moan amid these tortures. "More yet!" says the torturer; but the victim has not begged for release. "More yet!" he says again; but no answer has come. "More yet!" the victim has smiled, and heartily, too. Can you not bring yourself, after an example like this, to make a mock at pain?
20. "But," you object, "my illness does not allow me to be doing anything; it has withdrawn me from all my duties." It is your body that is hampered by ill-health, and not your soul as well. It is for this reason that it clogs the feet of the runner and will hinder the handiwork of the cobbler or the artisan; but if your soul be habitually in practice, you will plead and teach, listen and learn, investigate and meditate. What more is necessary? Do you think that you are doing nothing if you possess self-control in your illness? You will be showing that a disease can be overcome, or at any rate endured. 21. There is, I assure you, a place for virtue even upon a bed of sickness. It is not only the sword and the battle-line that prove the soul alert and unconquered by fear; a man can display bravery even when wrapped in his bed-clothes. You have something to do: wrestle bravely with disease. If it shall compel you to nothing, beguile you to nothing, it is a notable example that you display. O what ample matter were there for renown, if we could have spectators of our sickness! Be your own spectator; seek your own applause.
22. Again, there are two kinds of pleasures. Disease checks the pleasures of the body, but does not do away with them. Nay, if the truth is to be considered, it serves to excite them; for the thirstier a man is, the more he enjoys a drink; the hungrier he is, the more pleasure he takes in food. Whatever falls to one's lot after a period of abstinence is welcomed with greater zest. The other kind, however, the pleasures of the mind, which are higher and less uncertain, no physician can refuse to the sick man. Whoever seeks these and knows well what they are, scorns all the blandishments of the senses. 23. Men say, "Poor sick fellow!" But why? Is it because he does not mix snow with his wine, or because he does not revive the chill of his drink – mixed as it is in a good-sized bowl – by chipping ice into it? Or because he does not have Lucrine oysters opened fresh at his table? Or because there is no din of cooks about his dining-hall, as they bring in their very cooking apparatus along with their viands? For luxury has already devised this fashion – of having the kitchen accompany the dinner, so that the food may not grow luke-warm, or fail to be hot enough for a palate which has already become hardened. 24. "Poor sick fellow!" – he will eat as much as he can digest. There will be no boar lying before his eyes, banished from the table as if it were a common meat; and on his sideboard there will be heaped together no breast-meat of birds, because it sickens him to see birds served whole. But what evil has been done to you? You will dine like a sick man, nay, sometimes like a sound man.
25. All these things, however, can be easily endured – gruel, warm water, and anything else that seems insupportable to a fastidious man, to one who is wallowing in luxury, sick in soul rather than in body – if only we cease to shudder at death. And we shall cease, if once we have gained a knowledge of the limits of good and evil; then, and then only, life will not weary us, neither will death make us afraid. 26. For surfeit of self can never seize upon a life that surveys all the things which are manifold, great, divine; only idle leisure is wont to make men hate their lives. To one who roams through the universe, the truth can never pall; it will be the untruths that will cloy. 27. And, on the other hand, if death comes near with its summons, even though it be untimely in its arrival, though it cut one off in one's prime, a man has had a taste of all that the longest life can give. Such a man has in great measure come to understand the universe. He knows that honourable things do not depend on time for their growth; but any life must seem short to those who measure its length by pleasures which are empty and for that reason unbounded.
28. Refresh yourself with such thoughts as these, and meanwhile reserve some hours for our letters. There will come a time when we shall be united again and brought together; however short this time may be, we shall make it long by knowing how to employ it. For, as Posidonius says: "A single day among the learned lasts longer than the longest life of the ignorant." 29. Meanwhile, hold fast to this thought, and grip it close: yield not to adversity; trust not to prosperity; keep before your eyes the full scope of Fortune's power, as if she would surely do whatever is in her power to do. That which has been long expected comes more gently. Farewell.

Shop my closet. | WHAT PIXIES WEAR on Kleiderkreisel.
The Edited Wardrobe. | Plus: Shop my Closet – on Kleiderkreisel!
What a wonderful feeling to have cleaned out your closet. Separate from things you don’t need anymore, but also the ones you love but don’t suit or even fit you anymore… let me tell you, it’s such a wonderful feeling! Within the last months I have had the pleasure (well… more or less) to go through this process several times: When we moved from Graz to Berlin, I was forced to get rid of a big part of my wardrobe – and was left with 15 (!) boxes of neatly vacuum packed clothes… Shoes not yet included. Once again I was reminded of the fact that we live in such luxury, it’s not even believable. I even felt kind of embarrassed at the huge amount of stuff I owned. The only good thing I thought was to donate a good amount of stuff to charity – it was the least I could do.
But I had to minimize my wardrobe another time: Would there be an affordable AirBnB flat in Berlin that could fit all my clothes? Well, haha. Of course not. With a bit more than four suitcases, my boyfriend and me moved into our temporary flat and it was within in the time living there that I realized that all you need to be well dressed is one rack of clothes. And no, your outfits won’t be boring from this point on. I even felt like living with such a tightly edited wardrobe made me more creative when putting together different looks in the morning. And I haven’t felt that nagging “I have nothing to wear” feeling at all throughout our time there.
Whenever I own more clothes than hangers, something has to go.
In February, we finally found a flat that met all your needs and fulfilled all our wishes, and I dreaded the day I had to unpack the 15 boxes of clothes I had almost forgotten about (“dread” maybe isn’t the right word here, I knew there would be treasures to be found). So within the last months, I have edited and re-edited my wardrobe systematically and even though I love to shop from time to time – be it new clothes, vintage or thrifted pieces – I have made one rule for myself: Whenever I own more clothes than hangers, something has to go.
Shop my closet on Kleiderkreisel!

We can only describe the response we have had to the new developments at the Autopromotec this year as "fantastico", and what a great team.
Anita Mandema-Boyce, Marketing Manager, Stertil, and Stefano Quarena, Marketing Manager Pesci Attrezzature Srl., worked together over the last two months on a joint stand.
" We wanted to communicate to the market the great working partnership we have with Pesci by having a joint stand and demonstrating the progression made in the heavy vehicle lifting market especially in Italy, and also further afield in other European countries and across other continents", commented Anita.
" The interest in our mobile column lifts with the ebright touch screen control and our patented SKYLIFT platform lift demonstrate the freedom of choice customers have with Stertil-Koni products.
All products on the Stertil-Koni stand were incidently already sold before the show."
There were also many orders placed over the next five days of the show.
"We were one of the few producers able to show the impressive capabilities and chic design of one in a range of platform lifts, the Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT where the SKY is indeed the limit!! This impressive lift can cope with very long vehicles (up to 30 m long) and with lifting capacities of 70 tonnes, which is the ultimate lifting experience in any workshop situation and for any fleet of vehicles", says Anita.
" The funny thing was, we also had a visitor interested in buying our demo model EARTHLIFT mobile column", laughs Anita, " I had to explain to the gentleman that we only use this one for demonstrating the unique Stertil-Koni Active Energy Retrieval System and hydraulics and that's why you can take a look on the inside of the column as the casing is open. I offered to order him a normal one".
The 3D Virtual reality was a hit with visitors looking to take a virtual tour of a workshop.
Addio e arrivederci nel 2019!!

Logistics is considered as the backbone of the economy as it make sure efficient and economical flow of goods and other commercial sectors are dependent on it. Logistics is one of the most important basic industries for any economic growth. Today each and every organization stands at a forefront because of their effective & efficient supply chain network. It includes the management of the flow of products from the place of origin to the place of consumption. This industry has several integrated processes like material handling, warehousing, packaging, transportation, shipping security, inventory management, supply chain management, procurement, and customs service.

However, outsourcing logistics activities to experienced logistics service providers (LSP), also known as third-party logistics (3PL), will facilitate companies getting efficient and customized logistical support while concentrating on the core competencies. Today, there are many large multi -national LSPs that offer complete supply chain solutions across globe. Apart from core logistics activities such as transportation and warehousing, LSPs also offer value-added services such as customs clearance, freight forwarding, import/export management, inventory management, assembly/installation, packaging and labeling, distribution, after sales support, reverse logistics, etc.
The logistics firms are moving from a traditional set-up to IT integrated operations to reduce the incurring costs and meeting the service demands. The growth of the Indian logistics sector also depends much on its soft infrastructure like education, training and policy framework as much as the hard infrastructure. To support India’s fast-paced economy growth logistics industry is very essential. In addition, companies having manufacturing and distribution operations needs trained professionals in Logistics. In short, nearly every size and type of organization requires motivated, well-groomed individuals to become their supply chain leaders of the future!

I know many of us are challenging ourselves to chant more than ever...aiming towards November 18th and the opening of the WorldWide SGI headquarters. I wrote this a while ago and repost it from time to time.
When I first began chanting a leader told me our lives and our karma can be compared to a glass with dirt at the bottom...the dirt represents the karma that exists inside our lives. She said when you start to chant you stir up that dirt and see it swirling around...and if you want to really dig deep and clear it out, you might want to chant for a really long period of time...to do a Daimoku Tozo as we call it.
A reader requested I share some ideas about chanting joyfully, especially since so many of you are challenging yourselves to chant for longer periods of time. Thank you for asking.
1. Realize that what you are about to do...an extended chant...a tozo...has profound significance for your life. Give yourself credit for this worthy goal, and set a chanting time goal for yourself.
"I am determined to have the most beautiful, loving relationship so that I can totally inspire other people that great relationships are possible ...I can show actual proof with my life, and be able to introduce others to this practice!" In one of the tozos I chanted, I'd read President Ikeda's guidance saying you can chant to have 10,000 times more power in your prayer. So I spent the first hour chanting to increase the power of my daimoku by 10,000 times! That hour flew!
4. DEMAND your results! YOU are the Buddha! Do not beg favors from a 'higher power." Remember the Gohonzon cannot get down off the scroll and do the Buddha's work in the world. YOU actually are the Gohonzon; it is inside your life. The scroll is a reflection of the highest life condition that exists within your own life. So when you are chanting CLAIM what is yours! Yes, the Gohonzon consists of the functions in the universe that are in our lives. Tell your life what you want. And know that all real change comes from within.
5. All change comes from within. Take responsibility for your life...not blame. Realize whatever you are going through, whatever is causing you to chant...it's your karma..not your FAULT. Chant to reach the very core of that karma and change it forever. THEN your life circumstances and environment will change to reflect it. You don't have to figure out the deeper cause, don't worry about getting it right. Chanting is experiential, not an intellectual exercise.
7. Invite others for all or part of your tozo.
10. After the tozo write in your journal. You never want to forget this day. Write to me too. I love to hear your successes and your challenges.
11. Expect some obstacles to arise after your tozo. And just say "Hello obstacles! I was expecting you!" When you chant for an extended time you can compare it to turning your speedboat to HIGH. The faster you go, the more resistance you feel. Sometimes after a tozo I experience some obstacles, sometimes I don't. But if you do, please remember obstacles are fuel for your happiness and not to be feared. Face them and chant them away.
I am chanting for you to accomplish your goals and shine with happiness!
I am chanting for you to connect with the SGI and President Ikeda and all your Soka Gakkai friends.
From “The Third Day of the New Year” (WND-1, 1013).
"Those who make the best possible causes in their lives through working for kosen-rufu will never fail to enjoy immeasurable good fortune and benefit. Such are the workings of the law of cause and effect in life.
1. Get some exercise! Walk if you can. Fill your lungs with air, and oxygenate your body. It is always amazing to me how my mood is affected by moving my body. Yoga is great too. Find something you love...dance...run...whatever makes you feel great!
2. Drink lots of water. I drink about 100 ounces of water a day. It helps me in so many ways. I feel so much better. I take out four 24 ounce bottles and put them on my counter and make it a goal to drink them all each day.
3. To keep myself from anxiety I stay away from most forms of caffeine. Your body may handle caffeine just fine. But if you have anxiety I recommend cutting out the caffeine for a few days and seeing how you feel. I do drink tea.
4. Take loving care of your body. Get a massage. Massage is healing. It literally helps to drain the toxins from your body.
And get enough sleep! Studies are coming out every day about how important sleep is to overall health, mood, even weight loss.
5. Take your vitamins. I found a reliable person to help me understand what my body needs, and I follow the regime. I take a lot of vitamin D3. I can feel the difference if I don't take it. Even if it's sunny I need my Vitamin D!
6. Chant as much Daimoku as you can. I know sometimes my voice gets tired and raspy. But I am keeping up my two-hour a day campaign. I have to. I am skyping with friends all over to chant and get and give support.
7. Study Buddhism to get perspective and re-fire your faith. When you are studying you can tap into your deepest and most powerful prayer.
8. Laugh! Have some fun with your friends. Make room for spontaneity. This week I ended up on a sunset boat cruise on Lake Michigan viewing my favorite skyline with the sun going down behind it, and the lights of the city coming up. Truly a magical moment. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Most of us have heard about Norman Cousins who healed himself of cancer by watching old funny TV shows. Laughter fills your body with oxygen.
9. Be grateful for all you DO have. When I am really stressed I write down all the things I am grateful for...my eyes, my ears, my sense of smell, the fact that I can walk, and sleep, and all my close friends.
10. Do something for others. Doing shakubuku is the highest cause you can make for your own happiness. Give out Nam-myoho-renge-kyo cards, invite people to your house to chant. Call up a fellow member and say "How are you?"
Of course, chanting a lot of daimoku is the cornerstone to handling stress, but the other things I mentioned here are also important to me. I hope they are helpful to you.
Here we are chanting in the Worldwide Million Daimoku Campaign. Many of you have emailed me saying you have huge goals, and are chanting 300 hours (a Million Nam-myoho-renge-kyos) to make them happen.
You know what that means, right? YES! It means that your karma, my karma, all of our karma will come out so we can change it forever through chanting nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Although this is really the best, most invigorating way to live, it can also be daunting. Today's post is from my heart, because I am totally sharing in a great challenge in my own life.
Many of you write me facing Huge challenges...HUGE CHALLENGES. As you know, I love hearing from you and am always happy to answer your emails that you send to chantforhappiness@gmail.com. I am now offering chanting coaching over the phone or skype. You can tell me what is happening in your life and I will really hear you. I can help you write your own personal PowerPrayer, and move your life forward with new courage, vigor and determination. If you are interested in finding out more about speaking with me personally, please send me an email at chantforhappiness.com.
Whatever you are facing ~ YOU have the power to change your situation. It starts with chanting to do your own HUMAN REVOLUTION. Your life is the shadow of your inner life. When you change your inner life, you will also change the shadow ~ your whole environment will change. This will absolutely happen.
I think of karma as being in the garden hose of life...the water is coming through the hose, but it also has mud and dirt in it. As the dirt (karma) washes out through Daimoku, sometimes it gets clogged with problems, and that's when I have to chant more, study more, chant with others more, do shakubuku more and challenge myself more to change my karma.
I can't give up. No problem is bigger that Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! Let's not give up!
I know I can use my victory over this problem to inspire others and build my own unshakable faith. I MUST use all the resources of my faith, my mind, my courage and my compassion to light the way for all of us.
When you have this sort of feeling, that "I, _______(your name here), will overcome ALL my suffering and use my experience to inspire others" your feeling of suffering will change. You will understand and challenge your life in a new way. You will chant with more strength in front of the Gohonzon! See if you can do this!
You must generate and create the conviction that you are suffering for a greater purpose: to help others, and that you WILL achieve victory so you can inspire others. And your suffering will end immediately when you grasp that you have a deep mission. But we are not here to master suffering, not we who practice Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism with our mentor Daisaku Ikeda! We are here to master happiness! And forging courageously through our suffering, and using it as the fuel to create our happiness...that is the highest and best state of life.
We are so lucky to be able to chant to overcome our problems! We can change everything! We can't back down. We must make strong determinations! We have to go the distance and say "No matter how long it takes...I WILL change this! I am THE BUDDHA! I AM NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO! NO devilish function, no "bad karma" can defeat me! No WAY!
"Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is like the Roar of A Lion - What Sickness Can Therefore be an Obstacle!"
never to discard faith will receive the protection of all Buddhas.
WHILE controlling your mind, which is both extremely subtle and awesomely profound, you should strive to elevate your faith with freshness and vigor. When you do so, both your life and your surroundings will open wide before you, and every action you take will become a source of benefit. Understanding the subtle workings of one’s mind is the key to faith and to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime.
THE actions we take for others, for the Law, for society and for kosen-rufu ultimately bring blessings to our own lives. To the extent that we exert ourselves in this way, our lives become polished. We become like magnets, drawing benefits into our lives. People who continue to chant daimoku throughout their lives, naturally become a “cluster of fortune and blessings” themselves.
IF you fall down seven times, get up on the eighth. In other words, do not give up when you feel discouraged, just pick yourself up and renew your determination each time.
WE have truly entered the age in which the great philosophy of Buddhism will lead the world. Many thoughtful, discerning leaders around the globe are focusing intently on the wisdom of Buddhism and enthusiastically endorse the humanistic principles upheld by the SGI. Let us proudly work to expand our network dedicated to bringing peace to the world through the propagation of the correct teaching of Buddhism.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
PowerPrayers for Busting Through Obstacles! TWO PowerPrayers today!
Those of us who are challenging our lives through strong Daimoku (the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which means "I fuse my life with the mystic law of cause and effect through sound vibration") are summoning up obstacles in our lives. This is part of the practice and part of life. As I've said many times, we can use these obstacles to FUEL our lives and our happiness, and provide us with the fire to change our karma forever, or we can have these obstacles FOOL us into thinking we are not strong, not capable and not wise, and give up.
Recognizing Obstacles for What they are!
give way to each other.
when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood.
and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat.
and I am roaring like a lion.
through my Daimoku I make you my ally, instead.
every day until I have ultimate victory.
and by my strong faith while facing this challenge!
of being abused by anyone or any thing!
No more struggling in a job I hate, or any other terrible situation.
How is Our Practice Different from the "Law of Attraction" or The Secret?
I received a question from a reader asking how our Buddhist practice is different from the law of attraction, and wanting more clarification about the Gohonzon.
I am very familiar with the law of attraction. I have read the Secret and I attended many talks by Abraham (Esther and Jerry Hicks) and I DO believe that what we focus on is very important.
We need to focus on what is positive, and what we want to bring into our lives. The thing the Secret is missing is any recognition of karma, and a consistent practice to elevate each person's vibration. Every day, by chanting, we elevating our life-condition. We intone the rhythm of the name of the universe itself, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, meaning: I fuse my life with the mystic law of cause and effect through sound vibration.
Let's face it, some things are easier to change than others, right? For some things you can just focus on them, watch how others are accomplishing them and just make the change and make it happen. Other things, well...they could take years; they are more embedded karma, but they CAN be changed with this practice.
When we chant we are chanting to our own life, our own essence, our own Buddha nature. We don't chant to Buddha! We chant to our own highest selves...deeper than our subconscious minds...the part of us that is connected to the whole universe. It is, of course, impossible to explain and must be experienced. If you are reading this blog and haven't experienced chanting you need to chant to feel it.
When I started, I chanted 5 minutes every morning and 5 minutes every evening, and I went to SGI meetings to learn more. I had a "seeking spirit" and felt I was onto something. 28 year later I am still "onto something" and live my life to help others tap into the power within themselves. When we live this way life is an incredible joy...and all our problems FUEL our happiness! To find a meeting in your area, click the SGI Portal on the right.
This is one of the many speeches of Daisaku Ikeda I read over and over again. We are truly microcosms of the macrocosm of the Universe. This speech resonated for me. It also corresponds with the blog from a few days back comparing the irises of our eyes with the nebulae in the universe. Enjoy!
I would like to take the opportunity provided by today’s training session of the youth division to present a succinct and easily comprehensible discussion of the significance of gongyo. Because of the limitations of time I cannot pursue the subject in all its details, so I would like all of you to consider and explore this topic on your own afterwards as well.
Through that practice we can acquire wisdom and good fortune, and glow with the energy to overcome any obstacle throughout the four seasons, three hundred sixty-five days a year; we can enter the way to the eternal happiness and attain eternity, joy, true self and purity (jo raku ga jo).
Gongyo is a practice which calls forth and activates the infinite power that the microcosm inherently possesses. It transforms your fate, breaks through any apparent dead end and converts sufferings into happiness. It creates a transformation, a revolution of the microcosm. It is a diagram in miniature of kosen-rufu in our lives.
Gongyo and chanting daimoku are like starting the automobile’s engine every day and driving in the direction of happiness and truth.
Even though we may experience a period of sadness or depression, the principle that earthly desires are enlightenment teaches us that great sufferings are bound to be transformed into equally great joy, progress and value. There is nothing to fear, since the Gohonzon possesses the infinite power of the Law and the Buddha.
My message to you is that you must be absolutely certain of this and live your wonderful lives without regret, with joy and brightness, always moving forward.
"This Gohonzon is the essence of the Lotus Sutra and the eye of all the scriptures," Nichiren Daishonin states. "It is like the sun and the moon in the heavens, a great ruler on earth, the heart in a human being, the wish-granting jewel among treasures, and the pillar of a house" ("On Upholding Faith in the Gohonzon," The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 624).
In the center column of the Gohonzon are the characters "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" and under that, "Nichiren," surrounded by various other Chinese and Sanskrit characters that depict historical and mythological Buddhist figures. Together they represent profound philosophical principles and conditions of life.
Like a musical piece or a painting that reflects the life-state of the person who created it, the Gohonzon reflects Nichiren's life-state: Buddhahood. It is not merely a symbol, or something to focus on while chanting. Since it embodies the state of enlightenment, Nichiren's life, it is the actual reality of the Buddha's life. It is the link between the Buddha state within ourselves and in the environment. It is an instrument to see our true potential and use it. Therefore, by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the Gohonzon, we call forth our own Buddhahood, tapping our inherent wisdom, compassion and life force. Gradually, day after day, our own life-state is influenced and strengthened through our daily practice to the Gohonzon.
SGI President Ikeda states, "Just as a mirror is indispensable for putting your face and hair in order, you need a mirror that reveals the depths of your life if you are to lead a happier and more beautiful existence" (My Dear Friends in America, p. 94).
Nichiren cautions: "Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" ("The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon," WND-1, 832). In other words, our faith and practice make the Gohonzon an external stimulus to awaken our internal life of Buddhahood.
The tree was huge, and I got really worried for a moment. My mother was away from home and father at work.
PowerPrayer for Winning - No Matter What!
something deep in my heart has changed.
And I will not give up!
I am absolutely going to make it happen!

From Apple, 2016 saw the likes of the renowned iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus which controversially without the 3.5mm headphone jack paved the way to the revolutionary AirPods. The new MacBook Pro also introduced itself as a competitor on the market with its Touch Bar feature; generating an in-debate discussion. Not forgetting iOS 10 which incorporated 3D touch changes, widget support and also additions to the lock screen amongst a range of other new features. These were just a few of the releases 2016 offered, however given Apple’s reputation the line-up for 2017 could be better still.
The year 2017 actually marks the 10th anniversary of Apple TV and with this consideration some have said it’s possible Apple might celebrate this milestone with updates to its little black box. However this prospect merely remains hearsay.
As seen in September 2016 the second generation of the Apple Watch was launched with many internal upgrades and exterior features. It’s expected that the third generation is set to make an appearance next year and there has been wide speculation that the new model will add a front-facing camera to fulfil all those selfie needs. There is no firm evidence to suggest how much the new device is likely to cost, especially when considering the increase in models seen at the end of this year.
An iOS 11 software update is predicted to make its debut in the autumn which has happened in previous years with Apple’s system updates. There has not been many rumors about what changes can be expected but a more natural-sounding and improved Siri has been hinted at.
Read about iOS release dates here.
A range of iPads are anticipated for the new year too, especially having observed that the iPad Air range could be coming to its retirement. This potentially leaves the door open for a new spot on the market for something even more exceptional. Therefore a slightly larger version of the iPad Pro released in March 2016 is rumored to make an addition to the line, even though it’s difficult to make predictions when iPad sales have been less fluid recently.
Far more products are being expected for release, however even though nothing is set in stone from Apple or as a result of the influx of rumors it’s safe to say that 2017 is undoubtedly going to be a big year with a pleasing range of new stock.
